Today's Weather Trivia:
1856: Lightning struck a house in Chatham, NB, killing 2 young girls. The
father of one of the girls threw a barrel of flour on the fire from an
upstairs window. He then took his injured wife outside, where she told him
that both girls were dead. He went back in and saw them standing at a table,
holding dishes. As soon as he touched them, they both fell dead.

The planet Mercury pops into view about 30 or 40 minutes after sunset. It's
bright, but it's also quite low in the sky, so it's tough to see through the
lingering twilight. Any buildings or trees along the horizon will block it
from view.
