Today is Tuesday May 18, 2010.
This is the 138th day of the year, there are 227 days left.

On this day...
In 1825 A tornado (said to have crossed all of the state of Ohio)
smashed into the log cabin settlement of Burlington,
northeast of Columbus.
In 1960 Salt Lake City UT received an inch of snow. It marked
their latest measurable snowfall of record.
In 1980 Mount Saint Helens (in Washington State) erupted spewing
ash and smoke sixty-three thousand feet into the air.
Heavy ash covered the ground to the immediate northwest,
and small particles were carried to the Atlantic coast.
In 1987 Thunderstorms in Kansas, developing along a cold front,
spawned tornadoes at Emporia and Toledo, produced wind
gusts to 65 mph at Fort Scott, and produced golf ball
size hail in the Kansas City area. Unseasonably hot
weather prevailed ahead of the cold front. Pomona NJ
reported a record high of 93 degrees, and Altus OK hit
100 degrees.
In 1988 Low pressure anchored over eastern Virginia kept showers
and thunderstorms over the Middle Atlantic Coast Region.
Flash flooding was reported in Pennsylvania. Up to five
inches of rain drenched Franklin County PA in 24 hours.
In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
severe weather from the Central Gulf Coast States to the
Lower Missouri Valley during the day and evening.
Thunderstorms spawned 16 tornadoes, and there were
74 reports of large hail and damaging winds.
In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the central U.S.
spawning a total of sixteen tornadoes, including a dozen
in Nebraska. Thunderstorms also produced hail 4 inches
in diameter at Perryton TX, wind gusts to 84 mph at Ellis,
KS; and high winds which caused nearly two million
dollars damage at Sutherland NE. Thunderstorms deluged
Sioux City IA with up to eight inches of rain, resulting
in a record flood crest on Perry Creek and at least 4 1/2
million dollars damage.
