JUNE 23RD, 1944-Four tornadoes killed 153 persons and caused five million dollars damage in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. The tornadoes formed during the evening and moved southeast along parallel paths flattening everything in their way. The town of Shinnston WV was leveled, and was left with the majority of the casualities. Until that time it was believed that damaging tornadoes did not travel across mountainous terrain. JUNE 23RD, 1984-The Missouri River sets a nine year record high of 29.22 ft. at Waverly, MO. The record is broken on July 28, 1993, during the Great Midwest Floods when the river crests at the same location, at 31.20 ft. |

JUNE 19TH, 1938-A cloudburst near Custer Creek MT (near Miles City) caused a train wreck killing forty-eight persons.

JUNE 19TH, 1835-A tornado tore through the center of New Brunswick NJ killing five persons and scattering debris as far as Manhattan Island.
