 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 1932 Concord NH was drenched with 5.97 inches of rain in
            24 hours to establish a record for that location   (16th-
            17th).
    In 1963 Nearly two and a half inches of rain fell at Yuma AZ in
            24 hours.  It was the most intense rain for Yuma during
            the period between 1909 and 1977.
    In 1965 A storm produced a band of heavy snow across parts of
            Wyoming.  Totals of 23 inches at Rawlins and 20.7 inches
            at Lander far surpassed previous snowfall record totals
            for so early in the season.  (15th-17th)
    In 1987 Thunderstorms produced large hail, damaging winds, and
            heavy rain in the northeastern U.S.  Heavy rain in
            southwestern Pennsylvania forced evacuation of twenty
            homes along Four Mile Run Creek, near Darlington.
            Harrisburg PA established a record for the date with 2.11
            inches of rain.  A cold front in the central U.S. brought
            freezing temperatures to parts of Montana and Wyoming.
    In 1988 Early in the morning a tornado hit Kelly Air Force Base
            in San Antonio TX injuring three persons and causing
            twenty-eight million dollars damage.  A second tornado
            on the northwest side of San Antonio caused six million
            dollars damage, and a third tornado in Bexar County
            killed one person and injured another.  Thunderstorms
            associated with Hurricane Gilbert spawned a total of
            forty-seven tornadoes in a two day period, with forty
            tornadoes in central and south central Texas.
    In 1989 Hurricane Hugo hit the Virgin Islands, producing wind
            gusts to 97 mph at Saint Croix.  Hurricane Hugo passed
            directly over the island of Saint Croix causing complete
            devastation and essentially cutting off the island from
            communications.  A storm surge of five to seven feet
            occurred at Saint Croix.  The only rain gauge left
            operating, at Caneel Bay, indicated 9.40 inches in
            24 hours.  Hurricane Hugo claimed the lives of three
            persons at Saint Croix, and caused more than 500 million
            dollars damage.  A ship, Nightcap, in the harbor of
            Culebra, measured wind gusts as high as 170 mph.
            A cold front brought high winds to the Great Basin and
            the Rocky Mountain Region, and thunderstorms along the
            cold front produced wind gusts to 66 mph at Yellowstone
            Park WY.
    In 2000 Tropical Storm Gordon made landfall at Cedar Key, FL
            with 70 mph winds. Previously a minimal hurricane, it
            produced large amounts of rain and several tornadoes
            across the Florida Peninsula as it approached.
    In 2001 A severe hailstorm near Rocky Ford, CO killed 1500 birds,
            most of them white pelicans.
    In 2014 Harrison, Arkansas measured 1.41 inches of rain in only
            12 minutes, from a strong thunderstorm in the area.
