Today's Weather Trivia:
1906: In Ontario, several people died during a storm near Springfield and
Inwood. They were killed either by lightning or by wind-whipped debris. An
87-year-old woman near Chatham died from heart failure caused by the
excitement. Just outside Brantford, winds lifted a windmill 15 m and blew it
over a 7-m-high shed, where it landed upright and undamaged.
