Today's Weather Trivia:
1925: An intense lightning storm in central Ontario was at its worst along
the Spanish River. While driving their animals to shelter, 2 men from
Sudbury were struck by a bolt of lightning. It killed one man instantly. The
other was blinded and doctors doubted he would recover his sight. Close by,
another man escaped uninjured, but the single bolt killed 4 horses and
several cattle.

Look for the planet Mercury low in the west beginning about a half-hour
after sunset. It looks like a fairly bright star, but it is so low in the
sky that it is tough to spot. This evening, it is just to the upper right of
the fingernail crescent Moon.
