Perhaps the most lucrative business enterprise was tornado postcards. These showed various views of the damage caused by the tornado, and were also a way for the people of Regina to add their own messages and impressions of the event.

This postcard, showing a view of the damage caused on South Railway, reads:

"Dear Ted,

This is only a little patch of damage done by Cyclone, show you complete set of views when you come for Exhibition...(Yours, Elsie)"

As time passed, the Regina Cyclone has become a landmark in the city's historical landscape. The event has served to inspire many school projects and papers, essays and books, not to mention a stage play and a baseball team!

Now even nearly 100 years since "the" tornado struck Regina, it remains one of the most fascinating events in our city's history.
