 Today's Weather Trivia:

4 April 1951: Tonnes of ice in record high flood waters smashed hundreds of homes in Pointe-aux-Trembles, QC. Volunteer boats were used to evacuate hundreds of villagers. The 6-m-thick ice grinding against one house awakened a teenager, who was carried to safety through waist-deep water on a firefighter's shoulders. Some residents chose to stay, cooking their meals on portable stoves in upstairs rooms.-Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
