Today’s Weather Trivia:
June 22, 2007: A weekend of 7 tornadoes hit southern Manitoba-the annual average is 9. In Whiteshell Provincial Park, winds and falling trees destroyed/blew away tents. After an hour of holding down their tents, 6 men and 4 women hid in a single-toilet outhouse for more than an hour. "The experience was nasty and smelly." Fortunately, the outhouse was well vented. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

• A faint comet just peeks into view in the northeast not long before sunrise. Comet McNaught is a little to the lower left of Capella, one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Under dark skies, the comet may be visible as a faint smudge of light, but binoculars will reveal its nucleus and its faint tail. The comet will remain in view for a few more mornings, dropping lower in the sky each day before disappearing in the twilight by month's end.– [Star Date Online]
