Today’s Weather Trivia:
3 November 1922: A northwesterly gale-force wind generated tremendous seas that rolled through the fishing villages on the northern coast of Cape Breton Island, NS. The storm raged for more than 24 hours with winds exceeding 130 km/h. At Wreck Cove, NS, the recently-repaired pier at Government Crib was destroyed with little sign remaining of the pile of heavy rock and gravel which weighed the timber down. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
