Thunderstorms, rain and wind this morning. Yay.
It is Saturday, August 30th.
1645 - American Indians and the Dutch made a peace treaty at New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam later became known as New York.
1682 - William Penn sailed from England and later established the colony of Pennsylvania in America.
1780 - General Benedict Arnold secretly promised to surrender the West Point fort to the British army.
1862 - The Confederates defeated Union forces at the second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, VA.
1941 - During World War II, the ***** severed the last railroad link between Leningrad and the rest of the Soviet Union.
1945 - General Douglas MacArthur set up Allied occupation headquarters in Japan.
1956 - In Louisianna, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway opened.
1965 - Thurgood Marshall was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as a Supreme Court justice. Marshall was the first black justice to sit on the Supreme Court.
1983 - The space shuttle Challenger blasted off with Guion S. Bluford Jr. aboard. He was the first black American to travel in space.
1984 - The space shuttle Discovery lifted off for the first time. On the voyage three communications satellites were deployed.
1994 - Rosa Parks was robbed and beaten by Joseph Skipper. Parks was known for her refusal to give up her seat on a bus in 1955, which sparked the civil rights movement.
1994 - The largest U.S. defense contractor was created when the Lockheed and Martin Marietta corporations agreed to a merger.
1996 - An expedition to raise part of the Titanic failed when the nylon lines being used to raise part of the hull snapped.
Today's thought:
Problems are the price you pay for progress.
Coffee's on.

Hi from the plow wind capital of tye universe.
More storms forecast for today.
Yesterday we saw two very large metal grain bins that where destroyed.
One was on the west side of the four lane about 50 yards off the road. The other one was 50 yards east of the four lane hwy in a field crushed. It must've been airborne quite high to clear the power lines.
