Today's Weather Trivia:

May 14,1951: Lightning struck the roof of an unoccupied farmhouse in the district of Dunleath, SK. The bolt twisted the walls, reduced furniture to rubbish, and scorched every electrical wall switch. Every window was blown outwards, scattering glass 100 m. A cabinet's doors were broken into fine splinters and china and glassware dumped nearby. Trinkets and photos sitting 1 m away were untouched. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
