Instantaneous Views of a tornado

From photographs taken near Jamestown, Dakota, 6th June 1887 by Mr. C.L Judd, while the column was 18 miles distant and rapidly receding. The upper picture represents the tornado at its fullest vigour; the lower, when it had begun to wane. The centre is shown by the dark line of the funnel, behind which trails the storm of rail and hail. In passing over a lake about two acres in area, this tornado sucked up all the water leaving the ground dry enough to be ploughed
