Today’s Weather Trivia:
29 July 1951: A wind-and-rain storm struck La Rivière, MB, blowing down 2 barns and disrupting hydro service. A man just home from the hospital after recuperating from a broken leg for 4 months broke the same leg in another place, in the debris of his collapsed barn. After being struck by lightning, the United Church near Basswood, MB, burned to the ground, but its contents were saved thanks to heavy rain. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
