Today's Weather Trivia:

June 15,1897: Lightning struck a fruit store in Georgeville, QC, entering the building through an attic window and travelling down the wall, peeling off plaster. It shot across to the nearest electric light wire and burned out a switch. The blast stunned some occupants, but they recovered and ran out of the smoke-filled building. Hail in places was over 30 cm deep. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
