Following is an excerpt from The Story of the Great Flood and Cyclone Disasters, edited by Thomas H. Russell and published by Thomas H. Morrison in 1913. Chapter XXII, entitled “In the Storm’s Path”, describes the path of the tornado as it moved from #Omaha, #Nebraska into Iowa:
In crossing Sherman Avenue the path extended from Binney street on the south to Emmet street on the north, and scarcely anything was left intact. Striking over the bluffs into the railroad yards, the #tornado devastated the Missouri Pacific roundhouse wrecked its fury on the rolling stock and then seethed across#CarterLake and the
#EastOmaha bottoms.

A terrible, but beautiful spectacle accompanied the crossing of the lake, when the twister sucked the water high into the air, a real
#waterspout. The cottages along the lake were mostly destroyed the Illinois Central trestle obliterated and scores of store buildings wrecked. At this point the width of the path is said to have been nearly half a mile wide.

Crossing the #Missouririver, the #twister struck the bluffs and seemed to turn southward. That this was the case is evident from the damage done in the city of#CouncilBluffs, which reports that the storm came from the north.

At the same time another outrider of the main body of the tornado was crossing the river in #Sarpycounty, hitting up the #Mosquitocreek through #lakeManawa and the scattering residences and farms thereabouts. Another waterspout was noted on#Manawa. This comparatively small twister disappeared after this work of destruction.

Other twisters were reported all up and down the #Missouririver and #Platterivervalleys, indicating the scope of the cyclonic conditions.
