Scope and Content

From the Collection: “MSS 3122 - 1957 Tornado Survey Letters to WDAY” is a collection of letters from residents of the Fargo-Moorhead area. WDAY was one of multiple news stations covering the storm patterns and provided updates to their listeners. WDAY warned families to stay indoors, giving them constant updates on the storm’s movements and power. More than a few letters mention how WDAY saved families from potential danger, as their warnings allowed people time to prepare and take shelter.

Following the storm, WDAY asked their listeners to provide them feedback through and Tornado Survey. WDAY asked three questions: 1. How the writer heard about the storm. 2. What they did during the storm. 3. Any suggestions or feedback for WDAY.

The collection is arranged in two series (Postcards and Letters), each of which are arranged alphabetically by the respondent’s last name.
