Niagara Falls 98 Years Ago
Margaret writes:
Her mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family that she and her neighbors woke up in the night feeling something was wrong. It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise. They had all become so used to the roar of the Falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the Falls. Amazing pictures! Almost 100 years old. Can you imagine walking on Niagara Falls?
How amazing – it just shows how our climate has changed!

1911 was also one of the hottest years in history. Hundreds of babies died in the heat in Europe and North America that summer.
