Few disasters have devastated Omaha as completely as the Easter Tornado of March 23, 1913. The storm descended with terrible force just after Easter services on Sunday evening. The tornado created a path of destruction seven miles long and a quarter mile wide. It killed 140 Omahans and injured 400 others. Thomas B. Norris was a Vice President of the Cady Lumber Company. He and his daughter, Coralie, were killed in the Easter Tornado of March 23, 1913.
