Instantaneous Views of a tornado
From photographs taken near Jamestown, Dakota, 6th June 1887 by Mr. C.L Judd, while the column was 18 miles distant and rapidly receding. The upper picture represents the tornado at its fullest vigour; the lower, when it had begun to wane. The centre is shown by the dark line of the funnel, behind which trails the storm of rail and hail. In passing over a lake about two acres in area, this tornado sucked up all the water leaving the ground dry enough to be ploughed. Date: June 6th 1887

1. Title: Instantaneous Views of a Tornado: Witnessing the Power and Transience of Nature's Fury in Dakota, 1887 2.. This photographic print showcases two Instantaneous Views of a tornado, captured near Jamestown, Dakota, on June 6th, 1887. The images were skillfully documented by the renowned photographer, Mr. C.L Judd, as the tornado column was 18 miles distant and swiftly receding. The upper photograph represents the tornado at the peak of its power, with a funnel cloud of ominous darkness and swirling debris. In stark contrast, the lower image illustrates the tornado as it began to wane, leaving behind a trail of destruction and awe. The tornado's center is marked by the dark funnel, which was accompanied by a storm of rail and hail. As the tornado passed over a two-acre lake, it sucked up all the water, leaving the ground dry enough for plowing. This natural phenomenon, a testament to the raw power and transience of nature, unfolded in the heart of the American Midwest during the 1880s. Witnessing the tornado's full fury and eventual wane, Mr. Judd captured these Instantaneous Views, offering a unique glimpse into the mesmerizing and often destructive world of tornadoes. These images serve as a reminder of the awe-inspiring and unpredictable forces of nature that have shaped our planet for millennia.
