With average temperatures near their maximum this time of year, there’s lots of energy available for strong thunderstorms, like those that struck on this date in 1992. Severe thunderstorms produced one inch hail near Rutland, and wind gusts to 100 mph in Georgia and Fairfax, causing considerable wind damage to trees as well as damaging a barn, a tool shed, and three houses.
