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



In 1989, severe thunderstorms raked parts of the

Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley with golf

ball to baseball-sized hail and 60 to 80 mph winds. 

Baseball sized hail battered counties just southeast of

Minneapolis/St.  Paul, while golf ball sized hail struck

Western and Central Wisconsin.	Total damage estimates

are unknown, although around $1 million damage was

reported in extreme West-Central Wisconsin about 40 miles

northeast of Rochester.
