    Today is Friday  April 15, 2016.   
    This is the 106th day of the year, there are 260 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       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 1921 Two mile high Silver Lake CO received 76 inches of snow in   
               24 hours, the heaviest 24 hour total of record for North   
               America. The storm left a total of 87 inches in 27 1/2 hours.   
               A tornado outbreak that started in Texas swept into central   
               Arkansas...with 35 fatalities in Arkansas.   
       In 1927 New Orleans LA was drenched with 14.01 inches of rain,   
               which established a 24 hour rainfall record for the state.   
       In 1949 A hailstone five inches by five and a half inches in size,   
               and weighing four pounds, was measured at Troy NY.   
       In 1958 A tornado 300 yards in width skipped along a five mile path   
               near Frostproof FL.  A 2500 gallon water tank was found one   
               mile from its original position (it is not known how much   
               water was in the tank at the time).   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe   
               weather in the Southern Atlantic Coast Region.  A tornado   
               killed one person and injured seven others near Mount Dora   
               FL.  Drifts of hail up to two feet deep were reported in   
               Davidson and Rowan counties in North Carolina.  Myrtle Beach   
               SC was deluged with seven inches of rain in three hours.   
       In 1988 Death Valley CA was soaked with 1.53 inches of rain in   
               24 hours. Snow fell in the mountains of southern California.   
       In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms soaked the eastern U.S. with heavy   
               rain, pushing the rainfall total for the month at Cape   
               Hatteras NC past their previous April record of 7.10 inches.   
       In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front produced   
               severe weather from west central Texas to west central   
               Arkansas during the late afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms   
               spawned a tornado which caused more than half a million   
                dollars damage at Fort Stockton TX, produced wind gusts to   
               65 mph at Dennison TX, produced baseball size hail at   
               Silo OK and near Capps Corner TX, and drenched southeastern   
               Oklahoma with up to 4 inches of rain in two hours.
