The post has now been edited to be grammatically correct :-).

Today's Weather Trivia:
1920: While every able-bodied man in northern New Brunswick worked night and
day fighting wildfires, other residents prayed for rain. Their prayers were
answered. A heavy downpour lasting 2 hours aroused the hopes of firefighters
in Restigouche County, where fires burned the fiercest. Other parts of the
province received enough moisture to bring some of the worst fires under
control.
