Often called the "Wizard of Oz" tornado because of its slender, unusual shape. This was a member of a family of tornadoes which touched down in Oklahoma. NOAA was conducting a project called "Operation Sound Chase", the purpose of which was to record the sound emitted by tornadoes at ground level.

The tornado at 0:31 looks like the one from "The Wizard of Oz" 1939.

Where did you get all of the footage from? I've only seen the ending segment of it.

@Dac719 yea it was all done with some smoke, dust and a little brain power to use a nylon as the body of the tornado, pretty smart actually. I think there was a film documentary about the movie that they explained it in once.

@MissMaddy881 I don't know. A lot of people told me it was fake. But, the whole thing...the storm clouds...the strong winds...hats, doors and windows blowing away...it all looked too real to be fake.

@Dac719 unfortunately, the tornado in the wizard of oz was fake.

i saw a clip of this tornado once. i think it was in this docu that i had about tornadoes as a kid. it was called 'twister: fury on the plains'.

@Dac719 it became long and skinny because the rear flank down draft pushed the bottom of the twister away

It does look a lot like the Wizard of Oz tornado at the end of this video. Makes me wonder if the tornado used for the film wasn't real tornado footage used for the background. Who says long skinny bendy twisters only happen once in history? Perhaps the first one was in Kansas in 1939 (hint, hint) and this is the second one in Oklahoma in 1981. Perhaps there were more before then.
