Margaret Hudson was six when the Halifax Explosion levelled the city. She's 100 now, sustained by a nightly sherry habit and the casino near her home in Windsor, Ontario.

Hudson moved to Windsor in 1937 when her husband went to play for the Detroit Red Wings.

Her memories of the explosion are familiar. She doesn't go into them in the video, which was added to YouTube just last week, but she does in a Windsor Star article from October:

"I was six," she recalled. "All the windows broke in the house. A soldier came and said a ship exploded. I remember someone on horseback came and moved us out. We all thought the Germans are here.
"They put us on a flat wagon, there were no cars, and took us outside the city to a farm. We picked up more people along the way. There were nine of us children. I'm the only one left."
