Description: This photograph shows the aftermath of the Moulton, Ohio, tornado of 1920. This photograph is a view of several houses and surrounding rubble. The two houses in the foreground (one of brick, the other a wood frame structure) are badly damaged. Other houses appear to be relatively untouched. On March 28, 1920 (Palm Sunday), an outbreak of 30 tornadoes across eight states killed 153 persons, ranking it among the deadliest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history. Four killer tornadoes moved into western Ohio from Indiana and another moved across Wood and Ottawa Counties. There were 29 deaths from these tornadoes in Ohio. The community of Moulton, Ohio, west of Wapakoneta, was leveled and three people were killed. View on Ohio Memory.
