Black and white photograph (25 x 20 cm.) with a view of 36th and Burt Streets in Omaha, Nebraska, after the tornado of March 23, 1913. The upper part of the image shows a home on the left without a roof and considerable damage. On the right is a man on horseback riding down the street. Most of the lower half of the image is blank; this appears to be result of a broken glass negative.
Few disasters have devastated Omaha as completely as the Easter Tornado of March 23, 1913. The storm descended with terrible force just after Easter services on Sunday evening. The tornado created a path of destruction seven miles long and a quarter mile wide. It killed 140 Omahans and injured 400 others.
