The river crested at Laredo, TX and broke the previous record by 12.6'. The US-90 bridge over the Pecos River was coverd by 30' of water on this day 1957.

Also on this day, hurricane Audry strengthened in the NW Gulf of Mexico.

1969: Lightning struck the Lansesbro (MN) State Fish Hatchery. In an instant 19,000 one-half pound trout were dead. Trout is some good eating fish, that's all I know about that.

1990: Much of the W U.S. experienced record/near record heat from 24th through 28th). On this day 1990, 122 Deg. F. in Phoenix, AZ, 117 Deg. F. in Tucson, AZ, 112 Deg. F. at Los Angeles Civic Center

Something to think about when contemplating allergies.

As an allergy sufferer, I'm afraid to ask. So I'm allergic to myself??? (Actually, that explains a lot!)
