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

It proved to be a water-logged Labor Day in 1989 for
parts of Eastern Nebraska, as numerous thunderstorms
drenched the area with torrential rains that morning.
Amounts reached nearly 7 inches in the village of
Creston, located about 60 miles northwest of Omaha.
Rivers and creeks obviously rose to the occasion, causing
widespread flooding of fields, county roads and streets.

&&

In 1970, the worst natural disaster in Arizona`s history
occurred when hideous flash flooding raged through the
central part of the Grand Canyon State.  Record rainfall
caused rivers to rise a staggering 5 to 10 FEET PER HOUR
that swept buildings and vehicles 30 to 40 MILES
DOWNSTREAM.  Workman Creek measured 11.40 inches of rain
in 24 hours to set a state record.  The flooding caused
an estimated $3 million damage and claimed 23 lives.
Moisture from Pacific Tropical Storm Norma provided the
ultra high octane fuel for the thunderstorms that
resulted.
