This drawing shows a storm hitting a small town. A swirling mass of dark lines represents wind and rain, while a cluster of simple houses sits below. The hills around the town are drawn in light brown, and a lone tree stands bent over on the right. The artist wrote the title at the top: *"The Cyclone that Struck Susanville, California in year of 1903."* The date "Jan 2, 1970" is stamped in the corner, likely when it was made.
