Today’s Weather Trivia:
19 July 1926: Over 60,000 acres of crops near Waldron, SK, were ruined by a tornado that killed 1 and injured 5. One person felt a rocking sensation, then awoke in rain, 200 m from the house. Buildings were demolished, trees uprooted, and transmission poles levelled. The Spy Hill train station was unroofed and boxcars overturned. At Gerald, hail broke windows and put fist-wide holes in car roofs. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
