Twisting Terror Descends Upon Pros
perous Western City and Leaves a
Track of Death and Desolation In
Its Wake. Loss $5,000,000.
•
More than 200 persons were killed
and 400 were injured in a windstorm
that demolished 450 homes, damaged
hundreds of other buildings and caus
ed a monetary loss of $5,000,000, ac
cording to reports from the main path
of the tornado in and near Omaha.
Most of the casualties were in Oma
ha. Nearby towns in Nebraska and
across the Missouri river in lowa also
suffered severely. Wires were snap
ped off in all directions and it took
many hours to gather and circulate
news of the disaster.
Fire broke out in the debris of many
wrecked buildings in the Nebraska
metropolis and these were menaces
for some time, as the fire companTes
were hindered by fallen walls and
blockaded streets. A heavy rain fol
lowed the wind, however, and drenched
the hundreds of homeless persons, but
also put out the flames.
Of the 202 known dead within the
area covered by the storm, 152 were
residents of Omaha. The remaining
dead are scattered over a considerable
range of territory, with Council Bluffs
reporting 12; Yutan, Neb., 16; Berlin,
Neb., 7; Glenwood, lowa 5; Neola.
lowa, 2, and Bartlett, lowa, 3. The
same cities and towns report an ag
gregate of 400 injured and 450 homes
demolished.
About 1,500 Persons Homeless.
Perhaps 1,500 persons are homeless.
Aside from this 3,000 buildings were
more or less damaged, some of these
being churches and school buildings.
Eight of Omaha’s public schools were
wrecked.
Cut Swath of 24 Blocks.
The pathway of the storm, from
three to seven blocks in width, cut a
swath twenty-four blocks long. Within
the space of this storm center, which,
if made rectangular, would cover a
quarter section of land, 1,200 houses
are wrecked, 100 bodies have been re
covered.
Estimates of the value of property
demolished by the storm vary be
tween $5,000,000 and $12,000,000. Some
of the more substantial houses can be
partially rebuilt Where the buildings
have not been torn asunder they have
been so twisted that even the materia)
is useless for rebuilding.
The destruction began with the mil
lionaire homes in the West Farnam
and Bemis park district, but farther
northwest the buildings collapsed more
easily, and a large number of deaths
resulted.

na, is stopping at the Sharpton
