 This is the 178th day of the year, there are 187 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1901 There was a rain of fish from the sky at Tiller's Ferry.
            Hundreds of fish were swimming between cotton rows after
            a heavy shower.
    In 1915 The temperature at Fort Yukon AK soared to 100 degrees to
            establish a state record.
    In 1957 Hurricane Audrey smashed ashore at Cameron LA drowning
            390 persons in the storm tide, and causing 150 million
            dollars damage in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
            Audrey left only a brick courthouse and a cement-block
            icehouse standing at Cameron, and when the waters settled
            in the town of Crede, only four buildings remained.  The
            powerful winds of Audrey tossed a fishing boat weighing
            78 tons onto an off-shore drilling platform.  Winds along
            the coast gusted to 105 mph.  Oil rigs off the Louisiana
            coast reported wind gusts to 180 mph.  A storm surge
            greater than twelve feet inundated the Louisiana coast as
            much as 25 miles inland.  It was the deadliest June
            hurricane of record for the U.S.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms moving out of Nebraska produced severe
            weather in north central Kansas after midnight.
            Thunderstorm winds gusting to 100 mph damaged more than
            fifty camping trailers at the state park campground at
            Lake Waconda injuring 16 persons.  Thunderstorm winds
            gusted to 80 mph at Beloit and Sylvan Grove.
    In 1988 The afternoon high of 107 degrees at Bismarck ND was a
            record for the month of June, and Pensacola FL equalled
            their June record with a reading of 101 degrees.
            Temperatures in the Great Lakes Region and the Ohio
            Valley dipped into the 40s.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Ohio
            Valley to western New England. Thunderstorms spawned six
            tornadoes, and there were 98 reports of large hail and
            damaging winds. Tropical Storm Allison spawned
            six tornadoes in Louisiana, injuring two persons at
            Hackberry.  Fort Polk LA was drenched with 10.09 inches
            of rain in 36 hours, and 12.87 inches was reported at the
            Gorum Fire Tower in northern Louisiana.
