 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 1905 A deadly tornado struck the town of Snyder OK killing 87
            persons.  The tornado leveled 100 homes in Snyder, and
            destroyed many others.  The large and violent tornado
            killed a total of 97 persons along its 40 miles path
            across southwestern Oklahoma.  The roar of the tornado
            could reportedly be heard up to twelve miles away. 
    In 1966 Morning lows of 21 degrees at Bloomington-Normal IL and
            Aurora IL established a state record for the month of May.
    In 1987 Summer-like "Father's Day" type weather prevailed in the
            north central and western U.S. for "Mother's Day", as
            seventeen cities reported record high temperatures for
            the date.  Jamestown ND soared to a record high of
            96 degrees.  Thunderstorms along the Central Gulf Coast
            deluged Lillian AL with 14.5 inches of rain, and nearby
            Perdido Key FL with 12.8 inches of rain.    
    In 1988 Thunderstorms produced hail and high winds over
            the Atlantic Coast Region and the Gulf Coast States
            marking the end of a five day episode of severe weather
            associated with a cyclone tracking out of the Great Basin
            into southeastern Canada.    
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front crossing
            the Plateau Region produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Butte
            MT and gusts to 77 mph at Choteau MT.    
    In 1990 A spring storm produced heavy snow in Upper Michigan and
            eastern Wiscosin.  Totals ranged up to 12 inches at
            Marquette MI, with eight inches reported at Muskego WI
            and Hartford WI.  The heavy wet snow, and winds gusting
            to 35 mph, damaged or destroyed thousands of trees, and
            downed numerous power lines.  Total damage from the storm
            was more than four million dollars.  
    In 2015 A wild weather day across the United States. From Tropical
            Cyclone Ana affecting the Carolinas, to tornadoes and
            across the Southern Plains into the Upper Mississippi
            Valley, to winter storm and blizzard conditions across
            portions of Wyoming and the Dakotas. At one time time,
            western South Dakota had Winter Weather Advisories, Winter
            Storm Warnings and Blizzard Warnings...while in southeast
            South Dakota, Tornado Watches and Tornado Warnings were in
            effect.
