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 1877 The second coastal storm in just three days hit Virginia
and the Carolinas. The first storm flattened the sand dunes
at Hatteras, and widened the Oregon inlet three quarters of
a mile. The second storm produced hurricane force winds along
the coast of North Carolina causing more beach erosion and
land transformation.
In 1955 The town of Axis AL was deluged with 20.33 inches of rain in
24 hours establishing a state record.
In 1986 A major spring storm quickly intensified bringing blizzard
conditions to much of the Northern Plains Region. Up to 18
inches of snow was reported in North Dakota, and in South
Dakota, winds gusting to 90 mph whipped the snow into drifts
fifteen feet high. Livestock losses were in the millions of
dollars, and for some areas it was the worst blizzard ever.
In 1987 Thunderstorms in northern Texas produced wind gusts to 98
mph at the Killeen Airport, causing a million dollars in
property damage. Two airplanes were totally destroyed by the
high winds, and ten others were damaged.
In 1988 Low pressure off the Atlantic coast produced high winds
across North Carolina, with gusts to 78 mph reported at
Waves. The high winds combined with high tides to cause
coastal flooding and erosion. About 275 feet of land was
eroded from the northern tip of Pea Island.
In 1989 Thunderstorms in central Florida produced golf ball size
hail and a tornado near Lakeland FL. Fair and mild weather
prevailed across most of the rest of the nation.
In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe
weather in central Oklahoma and north central Texas.
Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced up to six inches of golf
ball size hail along I-40 near El Reno, and produced wind
gusts to 75 mph at Okarche. Thunderstorms over north central
Texas produced softball size hail northwest of Rotan, and
high winds which injured two persons southeast of Itasca.
In 1991 (9th-13th) A 3 mile long ice jam on Maine's St. John River
broke up, releasing a 30 foot wall of ice, crushing cars,
and houses.
