Today’s Weather Trivia:
June 29, 1955: Heavy rain caused substantial damage in Winnipeg, MB. Backed-up sewers turned streets into small lakes and flooded virtually every basement in Fort Garry and St. Boniface, some to a depth of nearly 1 m. Disrupted phone service left an expectant mother about to deliver so desperate that she ran into the storm and pulled the corner fire alarm. Response was swift and she was soon in hospital. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
