Today's Weather Trivia:
1919: At Staynor Hall, SK, a tornado levelled a house, cowshed, and chicken
coop, carried farm machinery 3 km about the country, and drove boards into
cattle. Houses were lifted 60 m and then smashed. Near Shaunavon, flying
debris struck a farmer in the head. When he came to, he was lying beside his
unconscious wife, their baby still in her arms. Their house had collapsed
and was on fire.
