Today's Weather Trivia:
1921: Old settlers in west-central Saskatchewan couldn't recall a fiercer
wind, rain, and hail storm. Hail destroyed 2/3rds of the crops and winds
smashed windows and levelled small barns, shacks, and garages. Unsheltered
cattle were badly knocked about and poultry and birds were killed. Missing
washtubs, pails, and buggies were found in strange places. A bundle of hay
hung from telephone wires.
