JUNE 28

1957

June 28th-29th...the remnants of Hurricane Audrey combined with another low center over the Lower Lakes region and produced one of the worst June storms of record and established a new record low sea-level pressure (29.04 inches) for the month of June. Heavy rains...1.73 inches in 24 hours (28th-29th)...preceded the storm. The resulting gale on the 29th caused some of the worst damage to power lines in 30 years. One man was killed by a falling wire. Minor tree and crop damage resulted from the winds and rains.

1998

A thunderstorm produced several inches of rain over the already hard hit area of Arcade, Wyoming county. The flash flooding which resulted washed out a section of Java Lake Road.

2006
