Today's Weather Trivia:
1930: The fiercest heat wave in years was scorching the Canadian prairies.
Several people drowned in lakes and rivers as thousands tried to escape the
heat, and damage to crops was extensive. A Winnipeg, MB, man thought to be
suffering temporary insanity due to the heat attempted to kill himself with
a razor; when his wife tried to stop him, he inflicted serious wounds to her
face and throat.
