OLDEST KNOWN PHOTOGRAPH OF A TORNADO!

I was recently perusing various meteorological archives and happened across the picture above. It is out of the Historic NWS Collection of pictures and has the honor of being the oldest known photograph of a tornado. The photo was taken on the 28th of August, 1884, some 22 miles southwest of Howard, South Dakota. Eerie!
