Today's Weather Trivia:

May 15,1917: Near Wainwright, AB, a funnel-shaped wind hoisted a small shack off its foundation and whirled it some 3 m above the ground. During the cyclone, the air was filled with sticks, stones, glass, and other missiles. When the shack landed, 5 people were buried under the debris but escaped unharmed, apart from a few bruises and a bad scare. The father/husband was pinned under the stove. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
