On this day in 1912, a tornado hit Regina, Saskatchewan. The Regina Cyclone killed 28 people, injured 300 and caused $4.5 million in damages. The tornado lasted for 12 km and was 150 metres wide with 400 km/hr winds. It remains the deadliest tornado in Canadian history.
The photo depicts a scene of widespread destruction, likely caused by a natural disaster such as a tornado or hurricane. Numerous buildings are heavily damaged or completely destroyed, with debris scattered across the area. The structures appear to be older, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century, featuring wooden construction and simple designs. Some buildings have partially collapsed roofs, while others are reduced to rubble. The landscape is littered with broken wood, twisted metal, and other remnants. A few intact structures remain in the background, and a horse-drawn cart is visible, suggesting the image is historical. The overall atmosphere is one of devastation and chaos.

NOAA Regional Climate Centers’ contracts are lapsing, and they are shutting down. The administration wants Congress to eliminate the NOAA office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, which supports thousands of employees and university research. It’s up to you to advocate against these cuts!
