Storm Debris

Storm Debris

Photo of the damaged roof which was torn off from the Elks Club Building after a storm in June 1924. Downed tree limbs and leaves litter the street. 2 clapboard 2 story homes, with porches, are on the left side of the photo. On the right side are 2 story brick business buildings. 3 men can be seen looking at the damage. Telephone poles and wires can be see. Exact date and location unknown. Unidentified. "16-2" is written on the front in the upper right. Written on the back is "NEG / #60".

A copy of this photo appeared with others taken by Osborn Studio of the damage done by a tornado the previous week in the June 28, 1924 edition of the Dickinson Press. A caption included for this photo reads, " One of the most spectacular stunts of the storm was when large sheets of tin roofing were blown against electric wires. Enormous flames shooting high in the air and across the street quickly melted wires but failed to do damage to the L.E. Osborn residence which was located within a few feet of the flames."
