August 28, 1884: A tornado family crossed through parts of South Dakota. The second member of the family traveled SSE and SE from about 5 miles NNW of Forestburg. Grazulis denoted that at least one home was leveled and swept away. “Two brothers were caught in the open in that area, and one was killed.” The photo below was taken by F.N. Robinson and is found in the NOAA library. Per Grazulis, the location of the tornado is 5 miles SE of Forestburg, almost due west of Howard. It is one of the oldest known photographs of a tornado. At this time, the oldest known photograph of a tornado was taken on April 26, 1884 at Garnett, Kansas.
