In 1888 Residents of New York suffered through a record heat

which buried the city under nearly two feet of snow.
In 1977 "The Human Lightning Conductor", park ranger Roy C.
Sullivan, was struck by lightning for the seventh
time. He was first hit in 1942, then again in 1970,
1972, 1973 and 1976.
In 1983 Record heat prevailed from Texas to Michigan. Alpena MI
hit 98 degrees.

MST from a stationary thunderstorm over the south end of
the Great Salt Lake in Utah. It was visible 20 miles
away, and lasted four minutes.
In 1987 Hot weather prevailed in the Pacific Northwest. Highs of
88 at Seattle WA, 103 at Medford OR, and 111 at Redding
CA were records for the date. Cloudy and cool weather
prevailed in the northeastern U.S. The high at Boston MA
was just 60 degrees.
In 1988 Thirteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record
high temperatures for the date. In Montana, the record
high of 102 degrees at Billings MT was their fifteenth of
the month, and the high of 108 degrees at Glasgow MT
equalled their record for June. Thunderstorms in the
Atlantic Coast Region produced wind gusts to 102 mph at
Tall Timbers MD.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Central
Plains to the Middle Mississippi Valley. There were 129
reports of severe weather during the day and night.
Thunderstorms in Kansas produced wind gusts to 90 mph at
Liberal, and hail four inches in diameter at Quinter.
Thunderstorms in Wisconsin spawned a tornado at Lake
Delton injuring four persons. Lightning struck and
killed a woman at Junction City KS who had gotten out of
her car to photograph the lightning.
