1956: Two airliners collided in a thunderstorm over AZ's Grand Canyon killing 178 passangers and crew. In partial response to the events, the FAA was created, so as to regulate aviation so that planes would be less likely to simultaneously intersect each others space/time vectors.

1989: from the 26th through 7 Jul tropical storm Allison (forming from remains of Pacific hurricane Cosme) and its remnants caused periods of heavy rain (29.52" at Winnfield, LA in 6 days) and massive flooding in parts of TX, LA, AR, & MS 11 fatalities and $0.5 billion in damage.

1998: For the 19th time this month, Mebourne, FL set a daily record high (99 Deg. F.) and 3 days tied the record. The prior June all-time high (100 Deg. F. on 26 Jun 50 was broken twice (101 Deg. F. on 6th and 14th). The 0.16" of total rainfall this month was 3% of normal and set the record for driest June.

1999: At 1 PM, Milwaukee, WI reported a THI 88.1 at 97 Deg. F.. The 82 Deg. F. dew point tied the all-time highest dew point for Milwauke first set on July 4, 1977. All together now: "three-peat, three-peat, three peat!"

Men aged 30-39 are the most likely casualty group of weather related phenomenon. Men in general are responsible for almost 70% of all weather-related fatalities (excluding traffic accidents). And when it comes to lightning specifically, the rate jumps to 85%.

Wow, I don't know how a town could withstand 30" of rain.

I'm thinking that I may have to bring in extra resources into this project. Right Whale, they might not know just what they're dealing with. And if they do it would seem some sort of cover up is in progress. Hence, my absolute need to get to Aruba.

[raygun]

That never never never happens.

I'd just plain make up weather before I'd allow that to happen.

Not that I recommend fabricating things or anything. Not at all. I just wouldn't do it that way.

"Tonight's forcast: Dark,with widely scattered light in the morning."

Sunshine has returned today. I am suspicious.

[raygun]

Yeah, let me know just whom you're considering to call in this regard. I have a friend:

[My2Cents]

You got it.

[raygun]

You're point is...What?

I'm sure it is something based on the interconnectededs of all things.

Ahh - I see you found one of our Oak Ridge National Lab squirrels. Word of caution - don't tick him off.

That bright thing in the sky that hurts your eyes if you look at for very long is called an eclipse. Looks like you'll be having an eclipse for the next week. However, the temperatures will range all the way from 82 Deg. F. to a bitter low of 82 Deg. F. There's no telling when these extreme fluctuations will occur (they could happen in a single moment). You could be walking out to the drive to pickup the paper and BANG. It'll be 82 Deg. F. By the time you get back to your front porch BANG. It'll be 82 Deg. F. Then over the next 5 days it'll struggle to get to 82 Deg. F. and then BANG. It'll drop like a rock to 82 Deg. F.
