 This is the 194th day of the year, there are 171 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1895 A tornado struck Cherry Hill in New Jersey causing fifty
            thousand dollars damage.  It also descended into the
            Harlem and Woodhaven areas of New York City killing one
            person, and finally ended as a waterspout in Jamaica Bay.
    In 1975 Dover DE was deluged with 8.50 inches of rain to
            establish a 24 hour record for the state. 
    In 1977 Lightning struck a key electrical transmission line in
            Westchester County plunging New York City into darkness.
    In 1980 Afternoon highs of 108 degrees at Memphis TN, 108 degrees
            at Macon GA, and 105 degrees at Atlanta GA, established
            all-time records for those three cities.  The high of 110
            degrees at Newington GA was just two degrees shy of the
            state record.
    In 1987 Unseasonably cool weather prevailed across the Midwest.
            Ten cities reported record low temperatures for the date,
            including Casper WY with a reading of 39 degrees.  By way
            of contrast, record heat was reported in the eastern
            U.S., with highs of 93 degrees at Burlington VT, and 101
            degrees around Miami FL.
    In 1988 "Mother Nature" took a day off.  There were just three
            reports of severe weather across the country, and just
            one record high temperature reported.  Thunderstorms
            brought much needed rains to the Tennessee Valley area,
            producing nine inches at Senatobia MS.
    In 1989 A thunderstorm at Albany GA produced 1.40 inches of rain
            in forty minutes, along with wind gusts to 82 mph.
            Afternoon highs of 98 at Corpus Christi TX, 110 at Tucson
            AZ, and 114 at Phoenix AZ, equalled records for the date.
            Greenwood MS reported 55.65 inches of precipitation for
            the year, twice the amount normally received by mid July.
    In 2003 Severe thunderstorms moved across Arkansas, producing
            several reports of large hail and wind damage. Several
            trees were blown down, with numerous power outages. In
            Dumas, AR, a roof was blown off of a house, and wrapped
            around a tree...plus windows were blown out of an area
            shopping center.
