Today's Weather Trivia:
1955: Heavy rain caused substantial damage in Winnipeg, MB. Backed-up sewers
turned streets into small lakes and flooded virtually every basement in Fort
Garry and St. Boniface, some to a depth of nearly 1 m. Disrupted phone
service left an expectant mother about to deliver so desperate that she ran
into the storm and pulled the corner fire alarm. Response was swift and she
was soon in hospital.
