A wheel that may belong to a second vehicle (perhaps a tractor or wagon) is visible to the left of the car. Rubble is scattered over the ground. 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.
