Today’s Weather Trivia:
8 September 1899: Winds blew down the summer theatre at St. Thomas, ON's Pinafore Park, while actors rehearsed. One was badly injured; others had cuts and bruises. A cyclone over Oil City, ON, destroyed a mill and stables, lifted barn roofs, and scattered fences. A flying timber struck a citizen, badly injuring him. Another was hit by an airborne brick; a reporter described him as the "most serious loser." – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
