around Huntsville AL, and highlighted a backward spring in the South that
year. (David Ludlum)

produced the first April thunderstorm of record at Fairbanks. Pea size hail
fell northeast of Fairbanks from thunderstorms whose tops were less than
8000 feet. (The Weather Channel)

forty-seven tornadoes in two days from Louisiana to Upper Michigan. The
