Black and white photograph (25 x 20 cm.) with a view of 33rd and Cuming Streets in Omaha, Nebraska, after the tornado of March 23, 1913. The view is looking down a cobblestone street, probably Cass, which has streetcar rails.
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.
