Today’s Weather Trivia:
20 December 2004: A wind swept from Edson, AB, to the Saskatchewan border, felling trees, toppling radio towers, flipping small planes, tearing up roofs, and knocking out power to thousands. In a freak accident, the 100-km/h winds blew a kite boarder into an abandoned church in Alberta Beach, killing the adventurer. Wind gusts recorded at Edmonton's City Centre Airport tied the December record of 98 km/h. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
