 On this day...
    In 1775 The Battle of Monmouth in central New Jersey was fought
            in sweltering heat.  The temperature was 96 degrees in
            the shade, and there were more casualties from the heat
            than from bullets.
    In 1892 The temperature at Orogrande UT soared to 116 degrees to
            establish a record for the state.
    In 1923 A massive tornado hit Sandusky OH, then swept across Lake
            Erie to strike the town of Lorain.  The tornado killed 86
            persons and caused twelve million dollars damage.  The
            tornado outbreak that day was the worst of record for the
            state of Ohio up til that time.
    In 1975 Lee Trevino and two other golfers are struck by lightning
            at the Western Open golf tournament in Oak Brook IL.
    In 1980 The temperature at Wichita Falls TX soared to 117 degrees,
            their hottest reading of record.  Daily highs were 110
            degrees or hotter from June 24th to July 3rd.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced
            severe weather in the north central U.S.  Thunderstorms
            in Nebraska produced wind gusts to 70 mph and baseball
            size hail at Arapahoe, and wind gusts to 80 mph along
            with baseball size hail at Wolback and Belgrade.  Six
            cities in the Ohio Valley reported record low tempera-
            tures for the date, including Cincinnati OH with a
            reading of 50 degrees.
    In 1988 Showers and thunderstorms brought much needed rains to
            parts of the central U.S.  Madison WI received 1.67
            inches of rain, a record for the date, and their first
            measurable rain since the Mother's Day tornado outbreak
            on the 8th of May.
    In 1989 Evening thunderstorms deluged Winnfield LA with eleven
            inches of rain in four hours and fifteen minutes, and
            Baton Rouge LA reported 11 inches of rain in two days.
            Totals in west central Louisiana ranged up to 17 inches.
            Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Northern
            High Plains.  Two inch hail broke windows in nearly every
            building at Comstock NE.  Thunderstorms in North Dakota
            produced two inch hail at Killdeer, and golf ball size
            hail at Zap.
