Gander is a wildly picturesque small Atlantic Canadian town. In 2001, its population was barely over 9500 so when they took in nearly 6,700 frightened strangers who had no plans to land in the North Atlantic province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Tis was the day when the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks forced 38 planes to land here. Then Hurricane Gabrielle came in as a North Atlantic hurricane that caused flooding in both Florida and Newfoundland in that very same September of 2001.

September 19 - "Come From Away": The Weather Story

"This Day In Weather History" is a daily podcast from The Weather Network that features unique and informative stories written and produced by host Chris Mei. Weather happens every day. It can be sunny, cloudy, stormy or maybe just unsettled, but it is always happening! It’s when severe weather strikes that it captures the attention of those affected…and the imagination of everyone else who follows the story. So it is with good reason to expect that after over a century of news and weather information gathering and record keeping, there would be a "special" weather or natural phenomena event to mark each day of a calendar. Do you remember the first recorded tornado in Canadian history? No, you don’t because none of us were there...so we dive into that! How about when Prince played the Super Bowl halftime show? It’s possibly the best performance ever for that event….and the backstory made it all the more special! Or how about the 25th Anniversary Woodstock Festival back in 1994? It’s all here - all year - in one podcast.... "This Day In Weather History"!
