Today’s Weather Trivia:
June 28,1898: During a severe thunderstorm, lightning struck a house near the Hudson Bay Co. store in Edmonton, AB. Entering the chimney, it travelled down the stovepipe into the stove (shattering it), and across the floor to a wall, filling the house with smoke. It badly burnt a child's foot, tore his shoe off, and knocked him senseless; another child, a young man, and 4 women were also knocked down. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
