My future plan is to refine these tracks farther, there is more evidence I am checking out. Plus, I am collecting as much media (photos etc.) as I can from county historical societies.

I will release the KML publicly once I feel it sufficient.

Maybe I will turn this into a broader re-analysis?

Some changes from official sources:

-Craig F-3 hit Turin
-Yutan F-4 hit Woodbine
-Small tornado southwest of Lincoln
-Greenwood track changed
-Omaha tornado began farther south in Sarpy County
-Council Bluffs tornado split in two/no evidence of any damage in Nebraska
-All the western Iowa stuff

I used the official tornado rating form Grazulis. The white is "EF-U". Some of these could also be downbursts, it's hard to distinguish in written accounts without any photos.

Western Iowa was the trickiest, with widespread damage across Crawford, Shelby, Carroll, and Audubon Counties.

I am not the first to attempt this, Trudy Bell did this back in 2007. I am just building on that.

Here is a comparison of the three maps including mine:

-Thomas Grazulis/Tornado Archive
-NWS Omaha
-Trudy Bell

I've worked on this for the past few weeks so I thought I'd share here too.

I have created what I believe to be the most accurate map of the March 23, 1913 (Easter Sunday) tornado outbreak in Nebraska and Iowa.

I used archived newspapers, county plat maps, and more to achieve this.

Hello new followers! My name is Scott and I'm a meteorologist with the NWS in Aberdeen, SD. I mostly share historical weather or climate events, something I have doing for nearly a decade on Facebook. Weather is my 1st love followed closely by history.

Oh, I'm an introvert and love music too!

🎉PUBLISHED and open access: check out my latest paper on cell mergers and storm interactions here:

Can the positions of nearby cells/mergers help us discriminate between tornadic, non-tornadic, and hail-producing supercells? We find evidence for "yes".

No you

Hello! My name is Joseph Meyer! I'm a broadcast meteorologist currently residing in Omaha, Nebraska.

I was born and raised outside of St. Louis, and got my met degree from Mizzou.

I don't do a lot of the "chasing" stuff due to work, but I do write about wx history in NE/IA/MO!
