This footage was shot by an assistant to Thomas Edison in Sept. 1900 in Galveston, Texas. The hurricane that hit Galveston was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history and lead to over 6,000 deaths.

You see, people picked wild film from the fields and built the cameras from goats intestines and through magic they were able to record the film but only after sacrificing a virgin to the Gods.

@shepboy8 I think they were a box a little bigger than a shoebox, and to record they had a hand crank on the side that they had to turn in order to film.
