Today’s Weather Trivia:
June 24,1972: A tornado touched down on the west side of Maniwaki, QC. A mother and her son were killed when their mobile home was tossed nearly 100 m. Losses exceeded $1 million, as 6 homes were destroyed, 15 others were damaged, and 50 new cars were piled into a heap. A house with 4 people was dropped onto a neighbour's roof. Many townspeople were saved because they were away, attending mass. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
