Today’s Weather Trivia:
2 November 1769: Halifax, NS, experienced a violent gale. Wharves were vastly damaged and salt and sugar stores were almost wholly ruined. Roads were rendered impassable, 1000s of trees were blown over, and 3 schooners were driven ashore. The tide rose 2 m above normal, breaking dykes on the Bay of Fundy. At Fort Cumberland, 700 cords of firewood sitting 3 m above the tops of the dykes were lost. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
