What The Tornado Saw When It Came To Washburn


These are aerial views of campus before (top) and after (bottom) the tornado struck in 1966. It's sadly obvious why some of the buildings couldn't be saved.
Notice in the top photo that the western wing which exists today on Morgan Hall has not yet been added and that KTWU has not yet been built. Although the whole block owned by the university can be seen, the campus has grown and changed drastically since these pictures were taken.
