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

In 1951, the Kansas River Valley Flood reached a plateau
when the Kansas, Neosho, Verdigris and Marais Des Cygnes
Rivers inundated most of Northeast and East Central
Kansas, as well as most of Northwest and West Central
Missouri.  Primed by record setting rainfalls that
swamped most of these areas in May and June, the flooding
was escalated by amazing 8 to 16 inch rainfalls between
July 9th and 12th.  The Kansas River crested 4 to 6 feet
above all prior records from Manhattan to Bonner Springs,
and crests on the Marais Des Cygnes, Verdigris and Neosho
Rivers crested some 9 feet above all previous records. 
Some 150 communities were devastated, especially Topeka
and Kansas City.  The worst flood on record for the
Kansas River and its tributaries claimed 28 lives and
caused around $1 billion damage.

In 2012, Death Valley California had a "low" temperature
of 107 degrees.  This tied the world record for warmest
low temperature.  With a high of 128 degrees, the average
temperature for the date was 117.5 degrees, which is the
world record for the hottest calendar day average
temperature.
