            with record highs of 115 degrees at Red Bluff and 116
            degrees at Redding.
    In 1989 Early morning thunderstorms in the Lower Mississippi
            Valley produced 5.50 inches of rain south of Alexander AR
            in just ninety minutes, and flash flooding which resulted
            claimed the life of one woman.  Thunderstorms in Indiana
