Today’s Weather Trivia:
23 August 1896: A Lizard Lake, SK, farmer very narrowly escaped death. As he was cutting hay with his new steel mower, a thunderstorm suddenly arose and lightning struck the machine, momentarily stunning him. On coming to, he found the electrical charge had removed all the paint from the metal and coated it with a yellow sulphurous dust. The machine had no other damage and the horses were unhurt. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
