    In 1819 Twin cloudbursts of fifteen inches struck almost
            simultaneously at Catskill NY and Westfield MA.
            Flash flooding resulted in enormous erosion.
    In 1873 A Maine tornado took a life indirectly by knocking out a
            bridge during the day. Later, a train plunged into the river
            at dark.

            gusts to 70 mph at Auburn ME.  A wind gust of 90 mph was
            recorded at Blairstown NJ before the anemometer broke.
            The high winds were associated with a small tornado.  The

            wind gusts to 62 mph reported at Helena.  Eight cities
            from Maine to Minnesota reported record high temperatures
            for the date, including Newark NJ with a reading of 99
