Today’s Weather Trivia:
13 August 1898: A cyclone struck east of Estevan, SK. At one farm, the house and stable were demolished and the cook stove dropped into the cellar. A 3-month-old baby was tossed about 100 m and, though not found for several hours, suffered few injuries. A wagon was picked up and carried over 2 km before being smashed into the ground and a mower was rolled over and over until not one piece could be found. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
