Kansas photographer Dan Coburn visited Picher, Oklahoma (pop. 800) in March and posted these photos at the time. The town was pretty crumbly then – and that was before the tornado.

Dan posted additional photos of Picher because of publicity generated by an MSNBC article about the town’s pending demise because of mining pollution.

This weekend, a tornado hit the town of Picher, killing six and causing extensive property damage.

A doomed town.

    ESU Physical Science Classes used to take field trips to Picher until travel budget dollars began to shrink several years back.
