    In 1874 The Mill Creek disaster occurred west of Northhampton MA. 
            Dam slippage resulted in a flash flood which claimed 143
            lives, and caused a million dollars property damage. 
    In 1924 The temperature at Blitzen OR soared to 108 degrees to
            establish a state record for the month of May.  The
            record was later tied at Pelton Dam on the 31st of May in
            1986.    
    In 1952 High winds in the Wasatch Canyon of Utah struck Ogden and
            Brigham City.  Winds at Hill AFB gusted to 92 mph.   
    In 1987 It was a summer-like day as thunderstorms abounded across
            the nation.  Thunderstorms in Texas drenched Guadelupe
            County with more than three inches of rain resulting in
            flash flooding.    
    In 1988 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing ahead of
            a cold front produced severe weather from Florida to New
            York State.  Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the
            north central U.S.  Havre MT reported a record high of 95
            degrees.    
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
            severe weather in the south central U.S.  Thunderstorms
            spawned 20 tornadoes, and there were 180 reports of large
            hail and damaging winds.  A tornado at Cleburne TX caused
            30 million dollars damage.  A powerful (F-4) tornado
            touched down near Brackettville TX, and a strong (F-3)
            tornado killed one person and injured 28 others at
            Jarrell TX.  Thunderstorms also produced softball size
            hail at Shamrock TX.    
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from eastern
            Oklahoma and northeastern Texas to the Upper Ohio Valley. 
            Thunderstorms spawned seventeen tornadoes, including a
            one which killed a person and injured another north of
            Corning AR.  There were 128 reports of large hail or
            damaging winds.  Strong thunderstorm winds killed one
            person and injured six others at Folsomville IN, and
            injured another five persons in southeastern Hardin
            County KY.  Baseball size hail was reported near Fouke AR
            and near El Dorado AR.  
    In 2003 Severe weather struck a large part of Arkansas, with heavy
            rain (some parts of the state got 6 to 8 inches), strong
            winds, large hail, and several tornadoes.
