The post cards on this page, are grouped by location. Whenever the card has a postmark, I will put that date in the caption. Every post card listed on this website has the two-word POST CARD printed on the back side. Since these are vintage cards, I used the vintage designation post card, instead of the modern terminology postcard. Meadville, Pa. post cards are on the Meadville Post Card Page, and Saegertown, Pa. post cards are on the Saegertown Post Card Page.

October 21, 1909, Cambridge Springs experienced a damaging windstorm that only lasted a very short time. The three post cards immediately above, show three different views of the damage. One post card, calls it a tornado, and two post cards, refer to it as a hurricane. Hurricanes are tropical storms, so I tried to research the event to see what information I could find. One reference book refers to it as a cyclone, and online information, mentions both cyclone and tornado. From the localized damage shown, it looks like what happens when a tornado touches down. The next six post cards show the same event, and they were all published by The Loos Music Co., Cambridge Springs, Pa.
