  • Today’s Weather Trivia:

April 16,1958: A tornado struck near Watrous and Drake, SK. At 1st touchdown, it hurled a wagon through a fence, then demolished a tool shed and blew down cemetery headstones. At its next stop, barns were smashed and piglets scattered more than 1,600 m. At its 3rd stop, the twister dismantled a 2-storey chicken coop, bashed in windows, flipped over a car, and lifted ducks off a slough.

A thin crescent Moon is in the west at nightfall this evening. The planet Venus, the brilliant "evening star," stands directly below the Moon, and the planet Mercury is to the lower right of Venus. Mercury looks like a fairly bright star.
