       In 1893 Albuquerque NM was soaked with 2.25 inches of rain,

       In 1986 A flash flood victim in HI held onto a branch awaiting   
               help, while the current stripped him of his clothes and   
               watch!   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms produced up to ten inches of rain in   
               southern Kansas and north central Oklahoma overnight.   
               The Chikaskia River rose 2.5 feet above flood stage at   
               Blackwell OK during the day causing flooding in Kay and   
               Grant counties of north central Oklahoma. Early morning   
               thunderstorms in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas

               Thunderstorms produced up to six inches of rain in   
               southeastern Texas later in the day.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front in the   
               central U.S. produced severe weather from northern Texas   
               to the Lower Missouri Valley during the late afternoon   
               and evening hours.  Hail three inches in diameter was

       In 1989 Thunderstorms over northeastern Florida drenched   
               Jacksonville with 4.28 inches of rain between midnight   
               and 6 AM EDT.  Unseasonably cool weather prevailed in the   
               northeastern U.S.  Five cities reported record low   
               temperatures for the date, including Binghamton NY with   
               a reading of 30 degrees.  Morning lows were in the 20s in   
               northern New England.  Unseasonably mild weather
