Today's Weather Trivia:
Repeated lightning struck Echo Vale in the Lac Megantic district of Quebec,
shattering thousands of trees and scattering wood fragments. The fragments
ranged from the size of a toothpick to over 0.5 m long. Lightning also
entered the ground, tearing up both soil and tree roots. In at least one
incident, lightning peeled bark from a tree in a spiral form, curling off 10
m of bark.
