 On this day...
    In 1926 A hurricane came inland near Daytona Beach FL.  The
            hurricane caused 2.5 million dollars damage in eastern
            Florida, including the Jacksonville area.
    In 1939 The temperature at Lewiston ID hit 117 degrees to
            establish an all-time record high for that location.
    In 1943 On a whim, and flying a single engine AT-6, Lieutenant
            Ralph O' Hair and Colonel Duckworth were the first to fly
            into a hurricane.  It started regular Air Force flights
            into hurricanes.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in Minnesota spawned a tornado which moved
            in a southwesterly direction for a distance of thirty
            miles across Rice and Goodhue counties.  Trees were
            uprooted and tossed about like toys, and a horse lifted
            by the tornado was observed sailing horizontally through
            the air.  Thunderstorms drenched La Crosse WI with 5.26
            inches of rain, their second highest 24 hour total of
            record.
    In 1988 Hot weather prevailed in the north central U.S.
            Williston ND reported a record high of 108 degrees.
            Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the eastern
            U.S., and in southeastern Texas.  Richland County SC was
            soaked with up to 5.5 inches of rain.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains in the
            southwestern U.S.  Yuma AZ experienced their most severe
            thunderstorm of record.  Strong thunderstorm winds, with
            unofficial gusts as high as 95 mph, reduced visibilities
            to near zero in blowing dust and sand.  Yuma got nearly
            as much rain in one hour as is normally received in an
            entire year.  The storm total of 2.55 inches of rain was
            a record 24 hour total for July.  Property damage due to
            flash flooding and high winds was in the millions.
            Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Wisconsin and
            northern Illinois to New England, with 103 reports of
            large hail and damaging winds through the day.
            Thunderstorms in Wisconsin produced hail three inches in
            diameter near Oshkosh, and wind gusts to 65 mph at
            Germantown.
    In 2003 Thunderstorms brought heavy rain and significant flooding
            to northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania. Over 100 people were
            evacuated in Ohio, and several others in Pennsylvania.
            A bridge collapsed in Hubbard Township (Trumbell County,
            Ohio), and water was up to 6 feet deep in Youngstown, OH.
