Today's Weather Trivia:
15 September2002: 2002: At Komoka, ON, lightning shook an entire house.
Battery-operated toys started up, just like Toyland. The lightning charred
and melted some toys and a stroller. A neighbour and the mother used any
liquids they could find, including milk and juice, to douse the flames. The
electrical energy from the lightning strike likely charged the air and the
house contents with static electricity.
