This photo shows an aerial view of the destruction left by the May 5, 1933 tornado that nearly wiped out the town of Helena. Cecil Lucas, an Army Air Corps pilot from Maxwell Field in Montgomery, shot this and several more photos just hours after the devastating storm. (Contributed/City of Helena Museum)
