Tornado near Jasper, Minnesota, July 8, 1927 taken by 15 year old Lucille Handberg | src Billy Parrot Collection (view on Fb)

Two theories: the second tornado snapshot (on the bottom) had a Canedy’s Camera Shop 1927 date stamp on the verso. Canedy’s was in South Dakota and sold local souvenir snapshots (Bad Lands, Black Hills, etc…) between the 1920s – 1940s. It is also probable that when 15-year old Lucille Handberg took this photo her neighbor, who was an engineer, recognized its importance and sent copies to scientists around the country and these could be two of those. text adapted from source : Billy Parrot
