Today’s Weather Trivia:
26 July 1949: About 6:00 PM, a thunderstorm at Kirkland Lake, ON, tore out stakes from the Dailey Brothers' big circus tent. The heavy canvas collapsed just as the elephants were being led out. The animals stampeded but an ex-elephant trainer corralled the huge beasts. The only damage was a few air holes in the tent roof. The circus manager said later that 5 baby elephants were still frightened. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
