Today’s Weather Trivia:
8 August 2007: The worst flooding in decades in Quebec's Gaspé swept away trailer homes, sheds, and 3 bridges. Emergency crews evacuated people in rowboats and Zodiacs but had to swim to rescue some. Residents wore boots or wrapped their feet in plastic. In 12 hours, 80 to 115 mm of rain fell; winds gusted to 93 km/h. A trailer 100 m from the Riviere-au-Renard flooded, carrying away the elderly residents. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
