TODAY Version 3.7 06/24/94 Copyright 1986, 1994 By Patrick Kincaid

Today is Friday June 4, 2010.
This is the 155th day of the year, there are 210 days left.

On this day...
In 1825 A hurricane struck Long Island NY leveling trees and
causing damage to ships. The early season hurricane,
which originated around Cuba, caused major damage along
the Atlantic coast from Charleston SC to New York City.
Many were lost at sea.
In 1860 Iowa's "Commanche Tornado", with wind speeds estimated in
excess of 300 mph, was unquestionably one of the worst
experienced by early settlers, with nearly a million
dollars damage.
In 1920 A hard surface road through nearly level country in Boggs
Flat, Colorado was washed out to a depth of 7 feet after 14
inches of rain.
In 1982 A four day storm began over New England which produced up
to 14 inches of rain in southern Connecticut breaching
twenty-three dams and breaking two others. Damage was
estimated at more than 276 million dollars.
In 1987 Early morning thunderstorms in south Texas produced
6.5 inches of rain at Hockheim, and five inches at
Hallettsville, in just a few hours. Afternoon thunder-
storms in Virginia deluged northern Halifax County
with 5.5 inches of rain in two hours. Thunderstorms
produced wind gusts to 76 mph at Dusty WA, and wind gusts
to 88 mph at Swanquarter NC.
In 1988 A dozen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low
temperatures for the date, including Atlantic City NJ
with a reading of 40 degrees. Fifteen cities in the
north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for
the date, including Glasgow MT and Havre MT with readings
of 102 degrees.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Southern
Plains Region and the Lower Mississippi Valley to the
Southern Atlantic Coast Region during the day and into
the night. Just four tornadoes were reported, but there
were 87 reports of large hail and damaging winds.
