Tho most appalling catnstropc in all
Omaha's history befell the city just be
fore suntet on a beautiful Easter day.
A tornado swooped down on tho 'city,
coming from tho southwest and toaring
a path through to the north and bast
from two to threo blocks wide nnd
about four miles long.
This was through the best built resi
dence section of the city, and hundreds
of homes wore smashed to powder or
broken into bits by the terror of the
air. Following the passago of the wind,
almost as swiftly as thought, firo broke
out, nnd in the twinkling of an eye
almost, homes of happy, prosperous
paople were turned into piles of blazing
dobris, from which maimed and crippled
victims of the storm god'B wrath were
dragged by rescuers. Other hundreds
were taken out, dead.
It was Bomo moments before the sur
viving could tsalize the naturo of tho
terrible visitation, so quickly had it be
fallen. Thoso who woro not caught in
the course of tho tornado, watched with
fascinated gaze the passage of its de
structive powor, but even then seemed
unable to grasp the fnct that an awful
devastation rode with the wind. Fire
men were first to realize tho condition,
that existed, for calls from dozens of
alarm boxes and from many surviving
telephones came piling in in a confusion
that was bewildering. But soon the
department was set at its task, and the
work of rescue was under way.
As minutes woro into hours, the ter
ror of the storm's work grow. Elec
tric lights were out of commission, tele
phones in the stricken section wore not
working, streets were blockaded by de
bris, and torrents of rain poured to ob
scure the'search. Careful search was
soon organized. The city police depart
ment was taxed to its utmost, and late
tho companies of the Nebraska national
guard stationed in Omaha were "Called
into servico thnt aid might be given as
quickly as possible, and that whatover
of order might bo restored could Lo
had.
So extensive and so comploto is the
wreck, and so difficult tho task of get
ting tho exact facts, that only guesses
can be made as to the extent of tho
calamity. The loss of life will mount
well into tho hundreds; the number of
injured will bo still greater, while tho
property loss will be millions. 5
Hundreds on hundreds of volunteers
aided during the night in tho search for
the victims of tho wreck; surgeons
worked for hours at the hospitals, or
in privnto homes where the injured
wero taken, giving nttcntion to the suf
ferors. Through tho dashing rain ,and
in the mud and slush, tho work of as
sistance was prosecuted. Families
that escaped with their lives were taken
into the homes of friends, or made
their way down to tho hotel district,
theie to seek shelter for the night. It
Was many hours before tho homeless
thousands were taken ( caro of oven
temporarily.
Street cars wero blown from tho
tracks nnd demolished while loaded and
on thoir way to and from town; two
and four-story brick buildings,' theatres
and churches wero razed, rcsidonccs
stacked on' top and littered amongst
each other.
The Iosb was not only in Omaha, but
sovornl tow an in the enst part of Ne
braska snd also towns in Iowa suffered.
In tho Nebraska towns Berlin was
wiped out of existence, six killed nnd a
number injured; at Yutan ten were
killed and a numbor injured, and scat
tering deaths aro also reported. At
Noola, la., threo were killed, six at
Council Bluffs and nt Harlan fieyenty
fivo wero injured.
