Today’s Weather Trivia:
23 November 1846: Across New Brunswick a storm tore wharves from their foundations, tossed slate roofs in every direction, swept a large schooner partly laden with bricks onto a public road, and rendered the Shediac Bridge impassable. Apparently, large haystacks changed ownership and every buoyant article flew into the woods or marshes. People were aroused from their sleep by the swaying motion of their houses and bedsteads. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
