Today’s Weather Trivia:

May 25,1840: Forest fires threatened the shipyards at Cardigan, PE, by igniting newly built spars. Fire wholly consumed several houses and barns at Murray Harbour and destroyed a number of bridges between Murray Harbour and Vernon River, but spared the mills. Fences and buildings, including dozens of outhouses, burnt. Fortunately, rain later extinguished the fires. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
