               tornado struck during the late afternoon on Easter   
               Sunday, and in just twelve minutes cut a swath of total   
               destruction five miles long and two blocks wide across   
               the city killing 94 persons and causing 3.5 million

               In southwest Kansas, the storm was described as the   
               worst in thirty years.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a strong cold front

               glazed parts of North Carolina and southern Virginia.   
               Gale force winds produced a heavy surf along the coast   
               of North Carolina.
