Today’s Weather Trivia:

4 November 2007:2007: Storm Noel hit the Maritimes at the low monthly tide cycle, which reduced tidal surges and flooding and spared life and limb. Waves peaked at 14 m on Georges Bank. Noel, which covered 1 million square km (bigger than Hurricane Juan 4 years ago but much weaker) destroyed beaches and ruined or severely damaged wharves, docks, and sheds. Most trees had lost their leaves so suffered less. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
