 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 1898 The temperature at Prineville OR soared to 119 degrees to
            establish a state record, which was tied on the 10th of
            August at Pendleton.
    In 1905 Heavy rain in southwestern Connecticut caused a dam
            break, and the resulting flood caused a quarter of
            a million dollars damage at Bridgeport.  As much as
            eleven inches of rain fell prior to the flood.
    In 1981 Fifty cattle, each weighing 800 pounds, were killed by
            lightning near Vance AL.  The lightning struck a tree and
            then spread along the ground killing the cattle.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Minnesota to
            Indiana and Illinois.  A thunderstorm at Janesville WI
            produced wind gusts to 104 mph which flipped over two
            airplanes, and blew another 300 feet down the runway.
            The northeastern U.S. experienced some relief from the
            heat.  Nine cities reported record low temperatures for
            the date, including Saint Johnsbury VT with a reading of
            42 degrees.  Barnet VT reported a morning low of
            33 degrees, with frost on vegetation.
    In 1988 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
            weather in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  Hail three inches in
            diameter was reported south of Saint Cloud MN.  Hot
            weather prevailed in the western U.S.  Fresno CA reported
            a record thirteen straight days of 100 degree heat.
    In 1989 Morning thunderstorms in the Upper Midwest produced more
            than five inches of rain west of Virgil SD.  Afternoon
            and evening thunderstorms deluged the foothills and
            adjacent plains of Colorado with heavy rain.  Rains of
            six to seven and a half inches fell in eight hours north
            of Greeley.  Hail and heavy rain caused several million
            dollars damage in Weld County.
    In 2003 Monsoon rains triggered landslides, snapped electricity
            cables, and inundated a large part of South Asia. The
            heaviest 1-day rain in 25 years pummeled Karachi,
            Pakistan, with 4 inches of rain, leaving 14 dead.
