Today’s Weather Trivia:
22 October 1929: A freighter staggered into Thunder Bay, ON, after surviving a titanic 36-hour battle against 120 km/h winds and 15-m waves on Lake Superior. Damage was extensive: twisted hull, wrecked forecastle, and crew's quarters reduced to matchwood in 1 m of water. The 33 officers and crew were cut by flying glass and splinters but miraculously escaped going to watery graves in icy Superior. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
