    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1919 A hurricane struck the Florida Keys drowning more than
            500 persons.
    In 1960 Hurricane Donna struck the Florida Keys, with winds
            gusting to 180 mph and a thirteen foot storm surge.  The
            hurricane then moved north along the eastern coast of
            Florida and inundated Naples before moving out to sea.
            Hurricane Donna claimed 50 lives, injured 1800 others,
            and caused more than 300 million dollars damage.  The
            Marathon/Tavernier area was almost completely destroyed,
            and in the Citrus Belt, most of the avacado crop was
            blown from the trees.  Hurricane Donna wreaked havoc from
            Florida to Maine, with wind gusts to 100 mph along much
            of the coast.  Hurricane Donna produced wind gusts to 121
            mph at Charleston SC on the 11th, and wind gusts to 138
            mph at Blue Hill Observatory MA on the 12th.  The
            hurricane finally died over Maine two days later,
            producing more than five inches of rain over the state.
    In 1976 Kathleen was the first tropical cyclone to hit southern CA
            since 1939, its 6' high wall of water destroyed 70% of homes.
    In 1987 A late afternoon thunderstorm roared through Austin TX
            producing wind gusts to 81 mph and 2.17 inches of rain in
            just sixty minutes.  The high winds toppled six National
            Guard helicopters at the Robert Mueller Municipal
            Airport, and damaged or destroyed numerous other
            aircraft.
    In 1988 Cool air sweeping into the north central U.S. brought
            snow to some of the higher elevations of Montana.
            The town of Kings Hill, southeast of Great Falls, was
            blanketed with six inches of snow.  Tropical Storm
            Gilbert strenghtened to a hurricane over the eastern
            Carribean.
    In 1989 Light snow fell in Montana overnight, with three inches
            reported at Fairfield.  Billings MT reported a record low
            of 33 degrees.  Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in
            the northeastern U.S., with record highs of 86 degrees at
            Caribou ME and 90 degrees at Burlington VT.
