Today's Weather Trivia:

May 30,1923: A ferocious miniature cyclone smashed windows in a Calgary, AB, schoolroom, scattering myriad pieces of fine glass that painfully injured 2 students. Students had remained motionless, watching as the window panes bent before breaking. The cyclone lifted for 2 blocks before striking a swimming pool under construction, ripping up heavy planks and tossing them high in the air. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
