    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 1940 The Galloping Gertie bridge at Tacoma WA collapsed in
            strong winds, resulting in a six million dollar loss, just
            four months after the grand opening of the new bridge.
            The winds caused the evenly sized spans of the bridge to
            begin to vibrate until the central one finally collapsed.
            From then on, bridges were constructed with spans of
            varying size.
    In 1951 At 7 AM a blinding flash, a huge ball of fire, and a
            terrific roar occurred over parts of Texas, Oklahoma and
            Kansas, caused by a disintregrating meteor.  Windows were
            broken in and near Hinton OK by the concussion.
    In 1986 An early season blizzard struck the Northern Plains
            Region.  North Dakota took the brunt of the storm with
            wind gusts to 70 mph, and snowfall totals ranged up to 25
            inches at Devils Lake.
    In 1987 Heavy snow fell across parts of eastern New York State
            overnight, with twelve inches reported at the town of
            Piseco, located in the Mohawk Valley.  A storm in the
            southwestern U.S. left nine inches of snow at the Winter
            Park ski resort in Colorado.  Smoke from forest fires
            reduced visibilities to less than a mile at some
            locations from North Carolina to Ohio and Pennsylvania.
    In 1988 Unseasonably warm weather continued across the state of
            Texas.  Seven cities reported record high temperatures
            for the date, including Waco and Del Rio with readings of
            92 degrees.  McAllen was the hot spot in the nation with
            an afternoon high of 96 degrees.
    In 1989 Shortly after daybreak strong thunderstorms developed in
            a narrow, but almost stationary, east-west band across
            the New Orleans area in southeastern Louisiana.  As a
            result, heavy rains persisted over the same area until
            mid afternoon before tapering off, and triggered flash
            flooding across a five county area.  Rains of 8 to 12
            inches deluged the area between 9 AM and 6 PM, and totals
            for the 48 hour period ending at 7 AM on the 8th ranged
            up to 19.78 inches, between Lake Lexy and Lake Borgne.
            Approximately 6000 homes in the area reported water
            damage.  The rainfall total for November of 19.81 inches
            at New Orleans was their highest total for any given
            month of the year.
