Today’s Weather Trivia:
2 September 1938: Eleven people died when torrential rains pounded eastern Quebec. The deluge raised water levels in several rivers and set off a rockslide on a tenement apartment building at St. Gregoire de Montmorency. Six members of one family drowned in their sleep when intense rains loosened a ponderous chunk of earth from the 50-m cliff. Standing water reached hip-high in spots. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
