Today is Friday May 21, 2010.
This is the 141st day of the year, there are 224 days left.

On this day...
In 1860 A swarm of tornadoes occurred in the Ohio Valley.
Tornadoes struck the cities of Louisville KY, Cincinnati
OH, Chillicothe OH and Marietta OH causing a million
dollars damage.
In 1895 The temperature at Norwalk OH dipped to 19 degrees to
establish a state record for the month of May.
In 1896 The temperature at Salton CA soared to 124 degrees to
establish a U.S. record for May.
In 1980 The temperature at Williston ND reached 102 degrees to
set a record for May. The next day the mercury hit
106 degrees.
In 1987 Severe thunderstorms, developing along a cold front
ushering sharply colder weather into the central U.S.,
produced 60 mph winds and golf ball size hail at Sedalia
MO, and drenched Hagerstown IN with six inches of rain in
one hour. Temperatures soared into the 90s ahead of the
cold front. Paducah KY hit 94 degrees for the second day
in a row. Light snow blanketed Montana, with three
inches reported at Butte.
In 1988 Severe thunderstorms swept across southern Louisiana
during the morning hours spawning six tornadoes, and
producing wind gusts to 88 mph at Jennings. Thunder-
storms also produced five inches of rain in two hours at
Lake Charles, causing local flooding.
In 1989 Thunderstorms moving southeastward across the Central
Plains Region into Oklahoma and Arkansas produced severe
weather through the day and night. Thunder-storms
spawned just four tornadoes, but there were 243 reports
of large hail and damaging winds. Baseball size hail was
reported at Augusta KS, and thunderstorm winds gusted to
98 mph at Johnson KS.
In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather across the
southeastern U.S. for the second day in a row. Severe
thunderstorms spawned five tornadoes, including one which
injured a person at Richmond KY. There were eighty-seven
reports of large hail or damaging winds, with hail three
inches in diameter reported at Austin TX. Thunderstorms
produced up to five inches of rain in Macon County GA,
and heavy rains left nearly eight feet of water over
roads near Stepstone KY.
In 2001 Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes raged across the
southern plains, and Great Lakes Region. Among other
places, tornadoes struck Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Michigan
(20th-21st). One supercell formed near Russellville,
Arkansas, and remained tornadic until the Mississippi
River...dropping a tornado in an empty field at Antioch.
Denver CO experienced a wide range in both weather and
temperature...when morning temperatures in the 70s were
met by winds near hurricane force from a cold front, and
snow with afternoon temperatures in the 30s.
