 Today is Sunday  May 14, 2006.
 This is the 134th day of the year, there are 231 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1896 The mercury plunged to 10 degrees below zero at Climax
            CO.  It was the lowest reading of record for the U.S.
            during the month of May.    
    In 1898 A severe thunderstorm, with some hailstones up to 9.5
            inches in circumference, pounded a four mile wide path
            across Kansas City MO.  South-facing windows were broken
            in nearly every house in central and eastern parts of the
            city, and several persons were injured.    
    In 1987 The temperature at Sacramento CA soared to 103 degrees to
            establish a May record of seven days of 100 degree heat. 
            It also marked the ninth record high of the month.   
            Seven cities in the western U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date as unseasonably hot weather
            made a comeback.  The record high of 103 degrees at
            Sacramento CA marked a record seven days of 100 degree
            heat in the month of May.  The previous record was two
            such days.  It also marked their ninth record high in
            eleven days.    
    In 1988 Sunny and dry weather prevailed across the nation. 
            Temperatures warmed into the 80s and lower 90s in the
            Great Plains Region and the Mississippi Valley.  
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front
            produced severe weather in south central Texas and the
            Southern High Plains Region during the afternoon and
            evening hours.  Thunderstorms produced softball size hail
            at Spearman TX and Hitchcock TX.    
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
            severe from northwest Texas to western Missouri.  The
            thunderstorms spawned seventeen tornadoes, including nine
            in Texas.  Four tornadoes in Texas injured a total of
            nine persons.  Thunderstorms in Texas also produced hail
            four inches in diameter at Shamrock, and hail four and a
            half inches in diameter near Guthrie.  Thunderstorms over
            northeastern Kansas produced more than seven inches of
            rain in Chautauqua County between 9 PM and midnight.
