In 1982, severe thunderstorms struck Kansas City with 70-80 mph winds. The destructive winds caused around $2.5 million damage. && In 1816, the "Year Without A Summer" saw a snow storm hit parts of New England. Wind-whipped snow produced drifts around 20 inches high in Danville Connecticut and flurries were observed in Boston. The "Year Without A Summer" was caused by the Ultra-Plinian Eruption of Mount Tambora that occurred on April 10th and 11th, 1815. The Tambora Eruption was about 100 times more powerful than the May 18, 1980 Mt. St. Helen`s Eruption and lowered global average temperatures 5.4 degrees (F). It took nearly 5 years for Earth`s average temperatures to return to normal. $$ Auto
