Today’s Weather Trivia:

April 26,1937: Floodwaters from the Thames River in London, ON, inundated basements and entire homes. Residents escaped through second-storey windows and off veranda roofs. April had nearly 175 mm of rain, 125 mm in one day. One person rowed by a haystack where some cows and pigs were camped out. The pigs swam after his boat and tried to climb in. Frightened cats that ran into basements drowned..– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
