A cabinet card of one of the earliest known photos of a tornado. It was taken 22 miles southwest of Howard, South Dakota on August 28, 1884 by photographer F.N. Robinson.didn’t exist yet, records and eyewitness accounts lead some to believe this tornado was estimated EF-4, with wind gusts between 166 and 200 miles per hour. It had multiple vortices. These are the points shown in the photo descending from the body of the tornado.
The back of the cabinet card touts this as the “only cyclone ever photographed.” However, we now know that another photograph of a tornado, or cyclone, was taken a few months earlier in Kansas.
