Today's Weather Trivia:
1961: A boy in Ontario survived when lightning killed his Labrador dog. The
teenager was in a deckchair when a lightning bolt struck a nearby tree and
travelled along a chain to the dog's collar. The dog died instantly. The
boy, who was stroking the dog's head, went rigid and passed out. Revived in
about 2 minutes, he recalled hearing a loud bang, described by his father as
the sound of cannon.
