Today's Weather Trivia:
2005: Residents near Rockwood, ON, spotted a tornado twisting through the
grey skies. A young girl worried about her horses as she watched the
barnyard shed fly past her window, then saw a tree fold in half and an
aluminum shed float through the air. Later, 3 horses were found in a nearby
field. They had broken through an electrical fence and avoided the airborne
shed.
