"On the evening of July 6, 1893, there passed through one of the most beautiful and productive sections of fair and fertile Iowa a tornado which destroyed more lives and property than any other like visitation of which western history contains any record."

| We're a long ways from being finished, but there are a few displays on the walls already. Most of them are enlargements of old photos and pages from the 1893 book, A Story of a Storm. We encourage you to become a fan of The Tornado Museum on Facebook to follow our progress as well as learn new things about tornadoes. |
