-- This web site was my favorite because of the disaster chat room,
and anti-terrism links, but was also usefull because it had some
information on natural disaters by state and gave links to
newspapers in each state, most of which had searchable archives. http://www.disastercenter.com/home.htm

A site for neat weather stories: See what nasty weather has happened onyour birthday:
A great site for average weather since 1895:
this gives a month by month significant storm event list...some. There was one website that I found to be very useful as far as Station-specific weather history:
interesting stuff not related to precip..lik record heat waves etc.

This site gives you the "latest" on weather across the states.
It has analyses, forecasts, and climate outlooks from NCEP(NWS) provided
by COLA(IGES). Temp, soil moisture, and precip can be shown on a regional
or national map for the next 3 weeks. No historical stuff though.
Here's a cool address to a web page containing 100s of links to other
pages dealing strictly with hydrology. i have already spent a hour just
surfing links from this page and there is many, many more to look at. i
have not yet found anything useful for the current weather lab, but it
looks as if it may be a useful search engine for future lab topics like
floods...

I found some fun stuff out there. The Real Time Environmental
Information Network and Analysis Systems (REINAS) out in California have
hooked up a series of weather stations and marine buoys that you can check
in real time. You can even request a graph of conditions for the last 10,
20 or 72 hours. With the pounding that California has been getting, it's
been fun to check out the wind speeds and even ocean temperature. The URL
is http://csl.cse.ucsc.edu/reinas/
Another related site is a camera set up by UCSC overlooking
the Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz, California. Occasionally sizeable waves
can be seen (and sometimes even the surfers!) The URL for the SLUG VIDEO
(the UCSC mascot is the Banana Slug) is

Enjoy!\
This website is titled "Maine Hurricane History." The text provides some
great information about how this type of storm has affected Maine in
particular. There are also links to more general pages about some of the
biggest hurricanes that have hit the east coast in the past century.

Finally found a good site!
This site contains all kinds of good data (precipitation, snowfall,
windspeed and direction, amt. of sunlight, etc) from the 18 somethings
on, for any region or state, and generates contour or vector maps to
display it.
