In 1888 Residents of New York suffered through a record heat
wave. Daily average temperatures were above 80 degrees
for fourteen straight days. The heat wave was a sharp
contrast to the severe blizzard in March of that year,
which buried the city under nearly two feet of snow.
In 1977 "The Human Lightning Conductor", park ranger Roy C.
Sullivan, was struck by lightning for the seventh
time. He was first hit in 1942, then again in 1970,

CA were records for the date. Cloudy and cool weather
prevailed in the northeastern U.S. The high at Boston MA
was just 60 degrees.
In 1988 Thirteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record
high temperatures for the date. In Montana, the record
high of 102 degrees at Billings MT was their fifteenth of

Plains to the Middle Mississippi Valley. There were 129
reports of severe weather during the day and night.
Thunderstorms in Kansas produced wind gusts to 90 mph at
Liberal, and hail four inches in diameter at Quinter.
Thunderstorms in Wisconsin spawned a tornado at Lake
Delton injuring four persons. Lightning struck and

powerful winds of Audrey tossed a fishing boat weighing
78 tons onto an off-shore drilling platform. Winds along
the coast gusted to 105 mph. Oil rigs off the Louisiana
coast reported wind gusts to 180 mph. A storm surge
