...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...

In 1936, the all time record high temperature for the
state of Kansas was set when a 121-degree high
temperature fried Fredonia.  This record was tied just 6
days later, on July 24th, in the town of Alton, located
in Osborne County.

&&

In 1889, a colossal cloud burst inundated extreme West
Central West Virginia.Rockport West Virginia received
the gully washer of a lifetime when nearly 20 inches of
rain reportedly overwhelmed the town in 2 HOURS and 10
MINUTES.  Creeks in Wirt, Wood, and Jackson counties
definitely rose to the occasion, especially Tygart Creek,
which rose 22 FEET in 1 HOUR.  The catastrophic flooding
of the Tygart, Slate, Tucker and Sandy Creeks claimed 20
lives as villages were swept away.
