 This is the 107th day of the year, there are 258 days left.

 On this day...
    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 1922 A family of at least six tornadoes caused death and
            destruction along parts of a 210 mile path from north of
            Ogden IL to Allen County OH, killing sixteen persons.
            A post card, picked up in Madison County IN, was found
            124 miles away near Mount Cory OH.
    In 1953 One of the few severe hailstorms accompanied by snow,
            sleet, glaze, and rain, pelted parts of Kay, Osage,
            Creek, Tulsa, Washington, and Rogers Counties in
            northeastern Oklahoma late in the day.  Nearly 10,000
            insurance claims were filed.
    In 1965 The Mississippi River reached a flood crest at Saint Paul MN
            four feet higher than any previous mark.  During the next 2
            weeks, record levels were reached along the Mississippi
            between Saint Paul and Hannibal MO.  Flooding caused more
            than 100 million dollars damage, but timely warnings kept
            the death toll down to just twelve persons.
    In 1987 Twenty-two cities in the central U.S. reported new record
            high temperatures for the date.  Temperatures warmed into
            the 70s and 80s from the High Plains Region to the
            Mississippi Valley, with readings in the low 90s reported
            in the Southern Plains Region. Tulsa OK hit 92 degrees.
    In 1988 Heavy snow blanketed northern Arizona.  Snowfall totals
            ranged up to 16 inches at Pinetop, with 10 inches reported
            at Flagstaff. Afternoon thunderstorms spawned a couple of
            tornadoes in Idaho.
    In 1989 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S.  Missoula MT was
            blanketed with four inches of snow, and Glasgow MT reported
            a record cold morning low of 14 degrees above zero.
    In 1990 High winds in northern Utah, gusting to 90 mph in Weber
            County, blew a trampoline through a living room window, and
            strong winds associated with a cold front crossing the
            Middle Atlantic Coast Region gusted to 75 mph in the
            Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia.  Unseasonably cold weather
            prevailed in the north central U.S.  Valentine NE was the
            cold spot in the nation with a record low of 10 degrees.
    In 2013 (17th-18th) From winter snow to severe storms, a wide range
            of weather was occurring across the county. In portions of
            the Upper Midwest, heavy snow was falling in portions of
            South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin,
            among other areas. Further south into Texas, Oklahoma,
            Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, among other
            areas...severe weather was the rule, with several reports
            of tornadoes, large hail, damaging wind, and flooding rain.
            There was a 40 degree temperature contrast on either side
            side of the cold front in many areas.
