This black and white photographic postcard depicts the aftermath of a tornado in April of 1911 at Hiawatha, Kansas. A house is completely destroyed and bricks and rock are around the foundation. A basement, or cellar space, is in the center of the card. A well is to the right of the foundation. Men stand behind the foundation. A man on the left stands next to an uprooted tree. Five men stand in the background. One man on the right stands on an unrecognizable item that was once inside the house. Written text is at the bottom of the card. Handwriting is on the back of the card.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/tj_postcards/1954/thumbnail.jp
