Today's Weather Trivia:
1879: Tornadic winds and hail as large as 2 cm in diameter struck
Harrisburg, ON, uprooting large trees and twisting others as if they were
mere sticks. The storm demolished a Great Western Railway building and
pushed 4 rail cars standing on a siding 600 m, although 2 brakes were
engaged. Missiles of every description flew through the air, making it
dangerous even for those sheltered inside.
