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

Today is Thursday June 17, 2010.
This is the 168th day of the year, there are 197 days left.

On this day...
In 1859 Hot Santa Ana Winds at Santa Barbara, California, roasted
fruit on one side as they hung from trees.
In 1882 A tornado traveled more than 200 miles across the state
of Iowa killing 130 persons. The tornado touched down
about ninety miles west of Grinnell, and struck the town
and college around sunset, killing sixty persons, and
causing more than half a million dollars damage.
Traveling at nearly 60 mph, the tornado hit Mount
Pleasant about 11 PM causing another half a million
dollars damage.
In 1965 Holly CO was deluged with 11.08 inches of rain to
establish a state 24 hour rainfall record.
In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the south
central U.S. Thunderstorms in Kansas produced wind gusts
to 76 mph at Lyons, and baseball size hail at Garden
City. The Edwards Aquifer, which supplies water to
San Antonio TX, reached a record level of 699.2 feet
following a record 18.43 inches of rain in thirty days.
Torrential rains between the mid May and mid June sent
8.8 million acre feet of water down the rivers of
southern Texas, the largest volume in 100 years of
records.
In 1988 Thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds in
Georgia and the Carolinas. Thunderstorm winds gusted to
75 mph at Eden NC.
In 1989 Unseasonably cool air, responsible for 37 record lows in
the central U.S. on the 15th and 16th, including a low of
33 degrees at Valentine NE on the 15th, overspread the
eastern U.S. ending a three day seige of severe weather.
