In 1886 A devastating tornado, 800 yards in width at times, cut a
20 mile path through Saint Cloud MN killing 74 persons.
The bottom of the Mississippi River was said to have been
seen during the tornado's crossing. Eleven persons were
killed at a wedding party near the town of Rice.
In 1973 A famous Easter blizzard raged across Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota. Gale force winds blew the wet snow into
massive drifts, however there were few deaths due to the
sparse population and due to the gradual increase of the
storm.
In 1987 A storm system moving slowly northeastward across the Middle
Mississippi Valley produced severe thunderstorms which
spawned three tornadoes around Ottumwa IA, and produced up
to four inches of rain in southeastern Nebraska, flooding
rivers and streams.
In 1988 A weather disturbance off the southern coast of California
brought parts of southern California their first rain in six
weeks. Rain-slickened roads resulted in numerous accidents
in southern California, including a ten car pile-up at
Riverside.
In 1989 Late afternoon thunderstorms in northern Florida soaked the
own of Golden Gate with 4.37 inches of rain in about 2 hours,
resulting in local flooding.
In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced
severe weather in southeastern Texas during the mid morning
hours. Thunderstorms produced dime size hail at Galveston,
and wind gusts to 59 mph at Port Arthur. Afternoon
thunderstorms over southeast Louisiana spawned tornadoes
south of Bogalusa and at Rio.
In 2011 (14th-15th) Severe thunderstorms with tornadoes, large
hail, and damaging winds rolled across Arkansas. Golfball
size hail occurred in some areas, with 10 tornadoes
across Arkansas...including an EF1 in west Little Rock.
In 2012 A tornado outbreak from Oklahoma, through Kansas, Nebraska,
and Iowa, had over 250 reports of severe weather, with over
120 tornadoes. Several died in Woodward, Oklahoma...and
there were several large and violent tornadoes spawned,
leaving behind widespread damage, and many others were
were injured. An EF tornado hit Wichita, Kansas...and an
tornado hit Thurman, Iowa.
