1924 Lorain Tornado Headlines

Well, today is the 89th anniversary of the infamous 1924 Lorain Tornado, and I thought it might be interesting to look at the front page of the local newspapers to see how it was reported.

As we all know, the tornado struck on a Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't reported in the newspapers until Monday, June 30, 1924.

Above is the front page of the Lorain Times-Herald. Unfortunately, the newspaper that was used for the Lorain Public Library's microfilm looks like it went through the tornado as well.

I had better luck with the front page of the Chronicle-Telegram from the same day.
