 Today is Thursday  June 15, 2017.
 This is the 166th day of the year, there are 199 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 1662 A fast was held at Salem MA with prayers for rain, and
            the Lord gave a speedy answer.
    In 1879 McKinney ND received 7.7 inches of rain in 24 hours,
            a state record.
    In 1896 The temperature at Fort Mojave CA soared to 127 degrees,
            the hottest reading of record for June for the U.S.  The
            low that day was 97 degrees.  Morning lows of 100 degrees
            were reported on the 12th, 14th and 16th of the month.
    In 1953 Dust devils are usually rather benign weather phenomena,
            however, two boys were injured by one near Prescott AZ.
            One suffered a black eye, and the other had two vertabrae
            fractured by wind-blown debris.
    In 1957 East Saint Louis was deluged with 16.54 inches of rain in
            24 hours, a record for the state of Illinois.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced
            severe weather in the northwestern U.S.  A tornado
            damaged five homes and destroyed a barn near Salmon ID.
            It lifted a metal shed 100 feet into the air, and
            deposited it 100 yards away.  Hail an inch and a half in
            diameter caused ten million dollars damage to automobiles
            at Nampa ID.
    In 1988 Severe thunderstorms in the Central High Plains Region
            spawned five tornadoes around Denver Co in just one hour.
            A strong (F-3) tornado in southern Denver injured seven
            persons and caused ten million dollars damage.  Twenty-
            six cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date.  The high of 97 at Portland ME
            was a record for June. A man in Denver survived a tornado
            by clinging to a phone pole. He lost, however, both shoes,
            a sock and shirt buttons.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Southern
            and Middle Atlantic Coast States.  The thunderstorms
            spawned 8 tornadoes, including strong (F-3) tornadoes
            which injured three persons at Mountville PA and four
            persons at Columbia PA.  There were 111 reports of large
            hail and damaging winds, including wind gusts to 80 mph
            at Norfolk VA and Hogback Mountain SC.
