Today's Weather Trivia:

May 29,1835: Terrific winds lifted the roof off a Bathurst, NB, farmhouse and blew the barn into an adjoining lot. One of the farmer's children took shelter under a tree. His mother called him to leave the spot, which he scarcely had done when winds felled the tree. In another incident, the Bathurst Courier reported a tree struck by lightning was "shivered to atoms." – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
