    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1949 An early snowstorm brought 7.5 inches to Helena MT.
            In Maine, a storm drenched New Brunswick with 8.05 inches
            of rain in 24 hours, a state record.  
    In 1961 Very large and slow moving Hurricane Carla made landfall
            near Port Lavaca TX.  Carla battered the central Texas
            coast with wind gusts to 175 mph, and up to 16 inches of
            rain, and spawned a vicious tornado which swept across
            Galveston Island killing eight persons.  The hurricane
            claimed 45 lives, and caused 300 million dollars damage.
            The remnants of Carla produced heavy rain in the Lower
            Missouri Valley and southern sections of the Upper Great
            Lakes Region.
    In 1965 Hurricane Betsy reached southern Arkansas, then weakened
            as it moved across southern and eastern sections. Winds
            of 50-70 mph were common, with 2-6 inches of rain.
    In 1976 Up to five inches of rain brought walls of water and
            millions of tons of debris into Bullhead City AZ via
            washes from elevations above 3000 feet.  Flooding caused
            more than three million dollars damage.  Chasms up to
            forty feet deep were cut across some roads.
    In 1986 Thunderstorms caused flash flooding and subsequent river
            flooding in central Lower Michigan.  Up to 14 inches of
            rain fell in a 72 hour period, and flooding caused 400
            million dollars damage.
    In 1987 Late afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced large
            hail and damaging winds in Texas, and spawned three
            tornadoes.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to 70 mph at
            Goodnight TX.
    In 1988 Snow blanketed parts of the Central Rocky Mountain Region
            and the Central Plateau, with ten inches reported at
            Mount Evans CO.  Smoke from forest fires in the
            northwestern U.S. reached Pennsylvania and New York
            State.  Hurricane Gilbert, moving westward over the
            Carribean, was packing winds of 100 mph by the end of the
            day.
    In 1989 Nine cities in the north central U.S. reported record low
            temperatures for the date, including Havre MT with a
            reading of 23 degrees.  Livingston MT and West
            Yellowstone MT tied for honors as the cold spot in the
            nation with morning lows of 17 degrees.  Thunderstorms
            produced hail over the Sierra Nevada Range of California,
            with two inches reported on the ground near Donner
            Summit.  The hail made roads very slick, resulting in a
            twenty car accident.
    In 1992 The eye of Hurricane Iniki tracked across western Kauai HI,
            stranding Steven Spielberg and the film crew of Jurassic
            Park.
    In 2013 Humberto became the first hurricane in the Atlantic Basin
            for season. It tied for the latest forming first hurricane
            with Hurricane Gustav in 2002.
    In 2014 An inch of snow fell at Rapid City, SD, with up to 8 inches
            in surrounding areas. This was the earliest measurable snow
            on record (since 1888), and was 2 days sooner than the
            previous record, set on Sept. 13, 1970.
