Today's Weather Trivia:

May 19,1860: A tornado raced through Newmarket and Aurora, ON. Although there was no loss of life, the storm demolished scores of homes, blew fences hither and thither, and levelled acres of woodlots and orchards. The twister raised the water level in Lake Wilcox ,and tossed cattle and sheep into the air. Four children playing in an open field were nearly carried away-2 were held down by their older brother. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
