Today’s Weather Trivia:
27 September 2005: In Stephenville, NL, hundreds fled their homes after over 150 mm of rain breached 2 rivers and the downtown flooded. A state of emergency was declared when water washed out roads and swamped bridges. About 80 homes had water to first-floor windows. In a door-to-door evacuation, some people were rescued with a front-end loader and zodiac. Some could not return home for several weeks.
