Weather map drawn by the Weather Bureau's Toledo observer and published in the Toledo Blade in Nov. 1913. Depicts the formation of the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. Unlike modern weather maps, these showed no warm/cold fronts, since frontal mechanisms were not yet understood, and isobars were located in part by eye and guess.

By Monday morning, the devastation on Lake Huron is mostly complete, and the low, having crossed Lake Erie Sunday evening, is moving off to the northeast. (excerpt from White Hurricane)
