       Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current   
       weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center   
       website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov   
       In 1846 A great storm hit Virginia and the Carolinas.  The   
               storm caused half a million dollars damage, and in   
               North Carolina drowned fifty families and a thousand   
               cattle on Notts Island.   
       In 1927 Raleigh NC was buried under 17.8 inches of snow in   
               24 hours, a record for that location.  Nashville NC   
               received 31 inches of snow.  The average snow depth in   
               the state of Carolina was 14 inches.   
       In 1975 The "Governor's Tornado" in Atlanta did considerable   
               damage to the governor's mansion and surrounding areas   
               resulting in three deaths and 56.5 million dollars   
               damage.   
       In 1985 A massive winter storm struck the Northern Plains   
               Region.  The storm produced up to 33 inches of snow in   
               northeastern South Dakota, at Summit and at Milbank,   
               and also produced high winds which whipped the heavy   
               snow into drifts twenty feet high.   
       In 1987 A storm in the northeastern U.S. produced heavy snow in   
               Maine, with 16 inches reported at West Grand Lake and   
               Guilford.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the south   
               central U.S.  A tornado at Baton Rouge LA injured   
               two persons, and another tornado caused five million   
               dollars damage at the airport in Lafayette LA.   
       In 1989 Snow and high winds plagued the western U.S.  Up to   
               16 inches of snow was reported south of Seattle WA, and   
               more than two feet of snow blanketed the Sierra Nevada   
               Range of California.  Winds gusted to 89 mph at Hidden   
               Peak UT, and reached 92 mph at Peavine CA.   
       In 1990 Mild weather continued across the northern tier of   
               states.  Highs of 52 degrees at Saint Johnsbury VT,   
               63 degrees at Olympia WA, and 64 degrees at Seattle WA   
               were records for the date.   
       In 2012 A massive tornado outbreak affected many areas east of   
               the Mississippi River, affecting areas from Mississippi   
               and Alabama, north to Indiana and Ohio. The Henryville   
               Indiana High School, and much of the town, was flattened   
               by an EF-4 tornado. Damage was widespread, along with   
               many reports of injuries and fatalities. There were 742   
               total severe weather reports; 95 of them were tornadoes.   
       In 2012 The Ohio and Tennessee Valleys were hit by a tornado   
               outbreak, which also affected parts of the southeast   
               United States...with at least 40 fatalities due to the   
               tornadoes. An EF3 tornado roared through West Liberty,   
               Kentucky, killing 11...and an EF4 tornado blasted   
               Henryville, Indiana, killing 10.
