Today's Weather Trivia:
1885: St. Thomas, ON, experienced one of its most fierce electric storms in
history. One lightning flash entered a local newspaper office, knocking the
telephone out of order and stunning a reporter. Another flash came into a
house and ran into the cellar where only 2 out of 40 pots of preserves were
left whole.
