    In 1884 Severe thunderstorms spawned sixty tornadoes in the
            southeastern U.S., killing more than 420 persons and
            causing three million dollars damage.  Georgia and the
            Carolinas were hardest hit. 
    In 1888 A tornado struck Mount Vernon IL.  The tornado killed 16
            persons along its 62 mile path.
    In 1954 High winds across the southern half of the Great Plains,
            gusting to 85 mph, caused the worst duststorms since the
            1930s.  Graders were needed in places to clear fence high
            dirt drifts.
    In 1987 A winter storm over the southern and central Rockies
            produced 28 inches of snow at Echo Lake CO, and two feet
            of snow at Gascon NM and Los Alamos NM.  Mora County NM
            was declared a disaster area following the storm.
    In 1988 Showers and thunderstorms in the southeastern U.S.
            drenched Valdosta GA with more than five inches of rain,
            and the 24 hour rainfall total of 7.10 inches
            at Apalachicola FL more than doubled their previous
            24 hour record for February.
    In 1989 An upper level weather disturbance brought heavy snow to
            parts of Nebraska, with six inches reported at Loup City
            and Surprise. 
    In 1990 A moist Pacific storm worked its way into New Mexico and
            southern Colorado.  Up to 36 inches of snow blanketed the
            Wolf Creek and Red Mountain passes of southwest Colorado,
            and up to 15 inches of snow was reported around Trinidad.
            In New Mexico, the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo
            Mountains were blanketed with 9 to 28 inches of snow, and
            50 to 60 mph wind gusts were reported from Taos to
            Albuquerque.
