 On this day...
    In 1851 The famous "Lighthouse Storm" raged near Boston Harbor.
            Whole gales and gigantic waves destroyed Minot Light
            with its two keepers still inside.  The storm resulted
            in great shipping losses and coastal erosion.
    In 1880 A tornado near Marshall MO carried the heavy timbers of an
            entire home a distance of twelve miles.
    In 1933 Franklin Lake NH was buried under 35 inches of snow.
    In 1960 A wind gust of 70 mph was measured at the Stapleton
            International Airport in Denver CO, their highest wind
            gust of record.
    In 1987 A slow moving storm system produced heavy rain over North
            Carolina and the Middle Atlantic Coast States. More than six
            inches of rain drenched parts of Virginia, and flooding in
            Virginia claimed three lives.  Floodwaters along the James
            River inundated parts of Richmond VA.
    In 1988 A storm in the northeastern U.S. produced a foot of snow at
            Pittsburg VT.  Severe thunderstorms produced baseball size
            hail and spawned five tornadoes in the Southern High Plains
            Region.
    In 1989 A cold front, ushering sharply colder air into the north
            central U.S., brought snow to parts of Montana and North
            Dakota. At midday the temperature at Cutbank MT was just
            22 degrees.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front produced
            large hail and damaging winds across Oklahoma, with 99
            reports of large hail and damaging winds during the evening
            and early nighttime hours.  Thunderstorms produced baseball
            size hail south of Carney, and wind gusts to 100 mph in the
            Oklahoma City area which swept away many Federal tax returns
            being transported from a mail cart to a waiting truck about
            the time of the midnight deadline.  Will Rogers Airport in
            Oklahoma City reported a record wind gust of 92 mph.
    In 2002 Several tornadoes struck the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
            area, with quite a bit of damage.
