Title	Lorain Tornado Photographs
Subject	Climate and Weather Tornadoes Storms Cityscapes
Place	Lorain (Ohio) Lorain County (Ohio)
Description	Eight postcards show the aftermath in Lorain, Ohio of one of the deadliest tornadoes in Ohio's history, which struck Lorain and Sandusky on June 28, 1924. The number of fatalities was around eighty-five, seventy-two of whom were killed at Lorain. In Lorain, the tornado came ashore at the Lorain Municipal Bath House in Lakeview Park and tore a three-mile-wide path through downtown in about three minutes. Its width varied from four thousand to five hundred feet, apparently becoming narrower as it progressed eastward. The tornado lifted east of the city and set down again at Sheffield and Avon. Damage in Lorain was greatest from West Erie Avenue south to Seventh Street and along Broadway south to Eighth Street. Buildings were damaged for thirty-five blocks along Broadway. More than one thousand homes were damaged and five hundred destroyed in Lorain. The postcards are 3" x 5" (8.89 x 12.7 cm).
