 TODAY  Version 3.7   06/24/94       Copyright 1986, 1994  By Patrick Kincaid

 Today is Sunday  April 9, 2006.
 This is the 99th day of the year, there are 266 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1877 Oregon Inlet NC was widened three quarters of a mile by a
            nor'easter.
    In 1947 A tornado struck Woodward OK during the late evening killing
            95 persons and causing six million dollars damage.  The
            tornado, one to two miles in width, and traveling at a speed
            of 68 mph, killed a total of 167 persons along its 221 mile
            path from Texas into Kansas, injured 980 others, and caused
            nearly ten million dollars damage. A man looking out his
            front door was swept by a tornado from his home near Higgins
            TX and carried two hundred feet over trees. The bodies of
            two people, thought to be together at Glazier TX, were found
            three miles apart.
    In 1977 A storm brought 15.5 inches of rain to Jolo WV in 30 hours.
    In 1987 International Falls MN reported their sixth straight record
            high for the date, with a reading of 77 degrees.  A cold
            front ushering sharply colder weather into the north central
            U.S. produced wind gusts to 60 mph at Glasgow MT.
    In 1988 Residents of Sioux City IA awoke to find two inches of snow
            on the ground following a record high temperature of 88
            degrees the previous afternoon.
    In 1989 Eighteen cities in the southwestern U.S. reported new record
            high temperatures for the date.  The afternoon high of 80
            degrees at Eureka CA established a record for the month of
            April.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
            severe weather from the Central High Plains to Arkansas
            and northern Texas.  Severe thunderstorms spawned five
            tornadoes, and there were seventy reports of large hail
            and damaging winds.  A tornado injured four persons at
            Ardmore OK, and thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 70
            mph at Kellyville OK, and hail three inches in diameter
            at Halmstead KS.
    In 1991 A squall line of severe thunderstorms, with gusts up to 110
            mph, raced across West Virginia, leaving $16 million damage.
    In 2003 Snow flurries fell in Little Rock for the first April snow
            since April 19, 1983...which is the latest measurable snow
            in Little Rock. The flurries melted as they hit the ground,
            so no accumulation resulted...as has been the case with all
            April snows in Little Rock.
    In 2004 Typhoon Sudal moved between Yap and Ngulu in the
            western Pacific Ocean, with 125 mph winds. Damaging
            winds also occurred on the island of Ulithi. The
            island of Yap was in the eyewall for a time, with]
            sustained winds of 75-100 mph, with gusts to 120
            mph. Sudal would become a Super Typhoon after moving
            away from the islands.
