    In 1846 A great hurricane tracked across Cuba, Florida, Georgia,
            the Carolinas, Virginia and Pennsylvania.  The hurricane
            inflicted major damage along its entire path, which was
            similar to the path of Hurricane Hazel 108 years later.
            The hurricane caused great damage at Key West FL, and at
            Philadelphia PA was the most destructive storm in thirty
            years.
    In 1986 Four tornadoes struck southeastern Virginia late in the
            night causing three million dollars damage.  Tornadoes at
            Falls Church VA caused a million dollars damage.
    In 1987 Fifteen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low
            temperatures for the date.  Record lows included 34 at
            Meridian MS, 28 at Paducah KY, and 26 at Beckley WV.
            Another surge of arctic air entered the north central
            U.S. bringing snow to parts of Wyoming and Colorado.
    In 1988 A total of forty-three cities in the eastern U.S. and the
            Upper Midwest reported record low temperatures for the
            date, including Elkins WV and Marquette MI where the
            mercury dipped to 18 degrees.
    In 1989 Sixteen cities reported record high temperatures for the
            date as readings warmed into the 80s and low 90s from the
            Southern and Central Plains to the Southern and Middle
            Atlantic Coast.  Evansville IN and North Platte NE
            reported record highs of 91 degrees.
