Today’s Weather Trivia:
23 July 2008: Cyclone-shaped waterspouts formed in the St. Lawrence River. Eyewitnesses spotted funnel clouds and a second waterspout 70 km northeast of Montreal. Waterspout winds rarely exceed 90 km/h but can capsize watercraft and damage waterfront properties. Although spouts were all the buzz, 90 km/h winds, hail and heavy rain, and a F0 tornado near Lanoraie did more damage. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
