Today's Weather Trivia:

May 8,1901: At noon, lightning struck the Bullock School, about 8 km from Beebe-Plain, QC. The teacher was at dinner and escaped. About a dozen people in the building were all more or less injured. Two girls who were sitting together had their hair burned and their shoes torn from their feet. They remained unconscious and paralyzed in their lower limbs for some time. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
