TODAY  Version 3.7   06/24/94       Copyright 1986, 1994  By Patrick Kincaid

 Today is Friday  March 3, 2006.
 This is the 62nd day of the year, there are 303 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1966 A tornado hit Jackson MS killing 54 persons.
    In 1980 A coastal storm produced 25 inches of snow at Elizabeth
            City NC, and 30 inches at Cape Hatteras NC.  At Miami
            FL the mercury dipped to 32 degrees.
    In 1983 The last of a series of storms to strike the California
            coast finally came to an end.  Waves fifteen to twenty
            feet high pounded the coast for two days, and in a four
            day period up to 18 inches of rain drenched the Los
            Angeles and Santa Barbara area.  On the morning of the
            first, thunderstorms spawned two tornadoes which moved
            through the Los Angeles area.
    In 1987 A storm brought heavy rain and gale force winds to
            Washington and Oregon.  Quillayute WA received 2.67
            inches of rain in 24 hours, and winds gusted to 60 mph
            at Astoria OR.
    In 1988 A small but intense low pressure system roared across
            west central Mississippi at 90 mph early in the
            morning.  A tornado in southern Mississippi picked up
            an automobile, carried it 150 feet, and tossed it
            through the brick wall of an unoccupied retirement
            home.
    In 1989 Wintry weather prevailed from the southern Rockies to
            the Upper Great Lakes.  Neguanee MI received 19 inches
            of snow, and up to 24 inches of snow blanketed
            Colorado.  Blizzard conditions were reported in
            Minnesota.
    In 1990 An upper level weather disturbance produced snow in
            the Colorado Rockies, with 8 inches reported at Winter
            Park, and a storm moving off the Pacific Ocean began
            to spread rain and snow across the western U.S.  March
            continued to start off "like a lamb" across the rest of
            the nation.
    In 2004 Recent rain, combined with high temperatures, and snowmelt
            contributed to rapid rises, and some ice jam flooding on
            rivers and streams across Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and
            western New York. Heavy rain and thunderstorms across
            southern California into southwest Arizona caused flash
            flooding...particularly in the forest fire burn areas.
