Did you know?
The Great Lakes Storm of November 1913 was Ontario’s most deadly weather disaster. This catastrophic event resulted in the sinking of 38 ships and the loss of 244 lives. I will mention this and much more in my presentation, “Connecting Weather and Personal Histories,” to be hosted by the Ontario Genealogical Society at 7 p.m. on February 6.
