Today is Sunday June 20, 2010.
This is the 171st day of the year, there are 194 days left.

On this day...
In 1682 A major tornado ripped through southwestern Connecticut,
passing through Stratford, Milford, and New Haven, and
then into Long Island Sound.
In 1921 Circle MT received 11.5 inches of rain in 24 hours,
a record for the state. The town of Circle received a
total of 16.79 inches of rain that month to establish a
rainfall record for any town in Montana for any month of
the year.
In 1928 A farmer near Greensburg KS looked up into the heart of
a tornado. He described its walls as "rotating clouds
lit with constant flashes of lightning and a strong gassy
odor with a screaming, hissing sound".
In 1964 A squall line producing large hail swept through central
Illinois. A second squall line moved through during the
early morning hours of the 21st, and a third one moved
through shortly after dawn. The series of hailstorms
caused nine million dollars damage. Hailstones as large
as grapefruit caused heavy damage to trees, utility
lines, crops and buildings. The thunderstorms also
produced as much as five inches of rain in an eight hour
period.
In 1987 Thunderstorms prevailed east of the Rockies, producing
severe weather in the Central High Plains Region.
Thunderstorms spawned four tornadoes in Colorado, and
produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Goodland KS.
In 1988 Thirty-eight cities in the central U.S. reported record
high temperatures for the date. Afternoon highs of 97 at
Flint MI and 104 at Chicago IL equalled records for the
month of June. Thunderstorms in North Dakota produced
baseball size hail near Kief, and wind gusts to 100 mph
near McGregor.
In 1989 An early morning thunderstorm produced wind gusts to
61 mph at Pierre SD, and hot thunderstorm winds raised
the temperature at Pierre from 86 at midnight to 96 at 1
AM to 104 degrees at 2 AM. Butte MT and Yellowstone Park
WY reported snow that afternoon.
