Today's Weather Trivia:
1853: A terrible fire, driven by a fierce northwest gale, raged north of
Ottawa, ON, and along the Ottawa River, sweeping away fences, bridges,
houses, mills, cattle, and even humans. It consumed 2 churches and 30 other
buildings, including grist and saw mills on Calumet Island in Quebec and in
Pembroke, ON. About 200 families lost their homes. Fortunately, heavy rain
halted the fire's progress.
