Storm of the Century: The Regina Tornado of 1912 - Bingaman, Sandra

As New; "Twenty-eight people are dead. Hospitals overflow with injured. And 500 buildings, some of the finest in Western Canada, are gone. Downtown is devastate, and 2500 people are homeless." An engaging story of one of the worst natural disasters in Canadian history, Storm of the Century recounts the "Great Regina Cyclone" of June 30, 1912. Skillfully mixing riveting narrative with dozens of compelling historical photographs, Bingaman brings this tragic event back to life. Many fictionalized accounts of the tornado exist, but this is the first complete account of the devastation and loss. An important addition to Regina's recorded history and published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the tornado, this book will serve as a lasting testament to the heroic rebuilding of the city.
