    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1936 A tornado outbreak in the Deep South resulted in a total of
            446 deaths and eighteen million dollars damage.  It was a
            "Tale of Two Cities".  During the evening of the 5th, a
            tornado hit Tupelo MS killing 216 persons, injuring 700
            others, and causing three million dollars damage.  The next
            morning the paths of two tornadoes met about 8:30 AM and cut
            a swath four blocks wide through Gainesville GA killing 203
            persons, injuring 934, and causing thirteen million dollars
            damage.  Eight to ten feet of debris filled the streets
            following the storm.  At least 70 persons died in the Cooper
            Pants Factory, the greatest tornado toll of record for a
            single building.
    In 1982 12 inches of snow, with 3 foot drifts at Yankee Stadium in
            New York City postponed the season opener between the
            New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers.
    In 1983 The temperature at Denver CO dipped to a record cold seven
            degrees above zero.
    In 1987 Rain and melting snow caused flooding from New England to
            Ohio.  Flooding in the Merrimack Valley of Massacusetts was
            the worst in fifty years, causing forty-two million dollars
            damage.
    In 1988 A powerful storm produced wind gusts to 75 mph around Chicago
            IL, and wind gusts to 92 mph at Goshen IN.  The high winds
            created twenty-five foot waves on Lake Michigan.
    In 1989 Unseasonably hot weather prevailed in California. Afternoon
            highs of 91 degrees in Downtown San Francisco, 93 degrees at
            San Jose, 98 degrees at San Diego, 103 degrees at Santa
            Maria, 104 degrees at Riverside, and 106 degrees in Downtown
            Los Angeles established records for the month of April.
    In 1990 Snow developed in the northeastern U.S. for the second time
            in the month.  In Virginia, a heavy wet snow blanketed
            northern and central sections of the Shenandoah Valley, and
            eastern foothills, with up to 12 inches reported around
            Harrisonburg.  Heavy snow also blanketed the high elevations
            of West Virginia, with 10 inches reported at Snowshoe.
            An inch of snow at Syracuse NY raised their total for the
            winter season to a record-tying 161.3 inches.
    In 2003 While the southern plains and the Gulf Coast were bearing the
            brunt of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, a snowstorm left
            a 1000 mile path of snow from the Plains to the East Coast.
            More than a foot of wet snow fell across parts of Nebraska
            and southern Minnesota, with 4 inches of snow falling in
            Central Park in New York City. (6th-7th).
