///////////////////////
JULY 12TH...HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1951...
The Kaw River flood occurred. The month of June that year was the wettest
of record for the state of Kansas, and during the four days preceding the
flood much of eastern Kansas and western Missouri received more than ten
inches of rain. Flooding in the Midwest claimed 41 lives, left 200 thousand
persons homeless, and caused a billion dollars property damage. Kansas City
was hardest hit. The central industrial district sustained 870 million
dollars property damage. (The Kansas City Weather Alamnac)
...1980...
Lightning struck a large broiler house in Branford FL, and the ensuing fire
broiled 11,000 nearly ready broilers. Firemen were able to save a few
thousand chickens, however. (The Weather Channel)
...1987...
Cool air invaded the High Plains Region. Eight cities reported record low
temperatures for the date, including Sheridan WY with a reading of 37
degrees. Thunderstorms developing along the cold front in the central U.S.
produced 6.5 inches of rain at Fort Dodge IA, and 2.5 inches in one hour at
St Joseph MO. (The National Weather Summary)
...1988...
Evening thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Dakotas, including
baseball size hail at Aberdeen SD, and softball size hail near Fullerton
ND. Thunderstorms produced heavy rain in Arkansas and northeastern Texas,
with 6.59 inches reported at Mesquite TX in just an hour and fifteen
minutes. Garland TX reported water up to the tops of cars following a
torrential downpour. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)
...1989...
Early morning thunderstorms over eastern Kansas deluged McFarland with more
than six inches of rain. Afternoon thunder- storms in Wyoming produced up
to eighteen inches of dime size hail near Rock Springs, along with
torrential rains, and a three foot high wall of mud and water swept into
the town causing more than 1.5 million dollars damage. Evening
thunderstorms produced severe weather in Oklahoma and Arkansas, deluging
Dardanelle AR with 3.50 inches of rain in less than twenty minutes. About
