    In 1859 Hot Santa Ana Winds at Santa Barbara, California, roasted
            fruit on one side as they hung from trees.
    In 1882 A tornado traveled more than 200 miles across the state
            of Iowa killing 130 persons.  The tornado touched down
            about ninety miles west of Grinnell, and struck the town
            and college around sunset, killing sixty persons, and
            causing more than half a million dollars damage.
            Traveling at nearly 60 mph, the tornado hit Mount
            Pleasant about 11 PM causing another half a million
            dollars damage.
    In 1965 Holly CO was deluged with 11.08 inches of rain to
            establish a state 24 hour rainfall record.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the south
            central U.S.  Thunderstorms in Kansas produced wind gusts
            to 76 mph at Lyons, and baseball size hail at Garden

            Torrential rains between the mid May and mid June sent
            8.8 million acre feet of water down the rivers of
            southern Texas, the largest volume in 100 years of
            records.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds in
            Georgia and the Carolinas.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to
            75 mph at Eden NC.
    In 1989 Unseasonably cool air, responsible for 37 record lows in
            the central U.S. on the 15th and 16th, including a low of
            33 degrees at Valentine NE on the 15th, overspread the
