    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1776 Thomas Jefferson bought his first thermometer, and signed
            the Declaration of Independence. It was cloudy and 76 degrees.
    In 1911 The northeastern U.S. experienced sweltering 100 degree
            heat.  The temperature soared to 105 degrees at Vernon VT
            and North Bridgton ME, and to 106 degrees at Nashua NH,
            to establish all-time records for those three states.
            Afternoon highs of 104 at Boston MA, 104 at Albany NY,
            and 103 at Portland ME, were all-time records for those
            three cities.
    In 1956 A world record for the most rain in one minute was set at
            Unionville MD with a downpour of 1.23 inches.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms produced heavy rain over the Central Gulf
            Coast Region for the second day in a row.  Monroe LA was
            deluged with 3.75 inches in two hours.  Aberdeen SD and
            Rapid City SD reported record high temperatures for the
            date, with readings of 105 degrees.
    In 1989 Independence Day was "hot as a firecracker" across parts
            of the country.  Nineteen cities, mostly in the north
            central U.S., reported record high temperatures for the
            date, including Williston ND with a reading of 107
            degrees.  In the southwestern U.S., highs of 93 at
            Alamosa CO, 114 at Tucson AZ, and 118 at Phoenix AZ,
            equalled all-time records for those locations.
    In 2009 (4th-5th) From 9pm July 4 to 7am July 5, lightning
            detection equipment observed Mothers Natures fireworks...
            a total of eleven thousand strikes across Arkansas in that
            time period. From 1am to 2am July 5, five hundred strikes
            were observed in Pulaski County (Little Rock area) alone.
