Today's Weather Trivia:
1938: Widespread rains temporarily helped to check the deadly
encephalomyelitis epidemic sweeping through rural Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The virus had killed hundreds of horses. Rains settled the dust, one of the
main carriers of the encephalomyelitis virus, according to animal
pathologists.
