    In 1833 An unusually large New England tornado, one half to three
            quarters of a mile wide, went from Salem Pond to Norton
            Pond VT, and then into Canada.  It "prostrated" nearly
            everything in its path.
    In 1843 An alligator reportedly fell from the sky onto Anson
            Street in Charleston SC during a thunderstorm.
    In 1986 The year's deadliest tornado killed 3 as it destroyed 10
            and damaged 20 mobile homes in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in Colorado produced hail as large as golf
            balls northwest of Kiowa, which accumulated to a depth of
            12 inches.  Hail two and a half inches in diameter was
            reported at Black Forest.  Hail damaged 900 acres of
            crops south of the town of Wiggins.
    In 1988 Twenty-six cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low
            temperatures for the date.  The morning low of 47 degrees

    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the south
            central U.S., with 158 reports of large hail and damaging
            winds through the day.  Evening thunderstorms in
            northeastern Texas produced softball size hail which
            caused more than five million dollars damage at Allen,
            and wind gusts to 90 mph at Dallas, which injured eight
            persons and caused seven million dollars damage.
