Today's Weather Trivia:

May 26,1917: Lightning struck the Dominion Government Observatory on the summit of Sulphur Mountain, at Banff, AB, wrecking almost the entire building. The bolt cracked the observatory's massive stone walls and destroyed its automatic weather-recording instruments. The force was so great that rocks were pulverized and a 10-m-long and 1-m-deep trench was left in the mountain. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
