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%.
