Today’s Weather Trivia:

16 November 2004:2004: More than 70 mm of rain fell in 24 hours in St. John's, NL. Streets flooded, driving was perilous, and storm sewers backed up. The flood closed a number of roads in the Newfoundland capital. Further, rivers overflowed onto some properties and water filled basements to a metre deep. Some residents complained that culverts hadn't been cleaned out in some time, thus contributing to the flooding. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
