Tornado! (1967) - Part 1

This is part one of two of the tornado safety film "Tornado!" which was made in 1967. This film contains several vintage tornadoes. It also includes outdated information/safety tips in regards to tornadoes.

*UPDATED*

I'm going to attempt to identify which tornadoes are used in this video. Some of the tornadoes I don't know at all and will mark them with four question marks (????). Some of the tornadoes I'm not 100% sure about and will list what tornado I think it is but will place two question marks at the end (??). If anybody knows which tornadoes these are or if I labeled any of the tornadoes wrong please inform me so I can correct/update it.

0:00-0:25 Perrin AFB, TX 4/18/1957 (Thanks Anticyclonic for identifying this)
0:26-0:28 Scottsbluff, NE 6/27/1955 ??
0:29-0:31 Perrin AFB, TX 4/18/1957
0:31-0:33 Scottsbluff, NE 6/27/1955 ??
0:34-0:36 Dallas, TX 4/2/1957 ??
1:35-1:39 ????
1:39-1:47 Dallas, TX 4/2/1957 (Thanks to hfkjehgufihgiufewi for confirming this)
1:47-1:51 Topeka, KS 6/8/1966 (Thanks to kevin120857 for confirming this)

Plus, did you upload this from the Tornado Project videotapes? I have those tapes as well, and what a great example this is, although it's outdated. Great Post!

Yes, I captured it from the 90 minute version of TVC II. I've since bought the DVDs and plan to upload a better quality version when I'm able to get the time.

At 1:50, that's the June 8th Topeka Kansas tornado. Burnett's Mound is visible in the foreground.

My father took a rare color film of the 1953 Worcester,MA tornado!

[ColonelAngus75]

Of the tornado itself?

[roguegrizzly1]

Man, look at all that classic Detroit Iron

[crownbaker]

My father took a color home movie of the damage that the 1953 Worcester, MA tornado did. In the begining of the film my grandparents, who my father lived with, had a cookout on a Sunday. It shows how still the air was. They were blowing air in the grill to start the fire . Then the film shows on Tuesday right after the tornado hit. It killed 94 people. It was the 20th deadliest tornado in US history.

@TBirdSCIL

He`s right...TBird I mean.

I used to have this video. When I watch the part Tb is talking about, I noticed and told my wife the same things. I told her, "hey, that`s Oak Lawn in `67! I recognized the hospital, Cicero ave and the Mcd`s.

Not sure why you guys would act so offended over it anyway? So what if it was or so what if it wasn`t! But name calling over a tornado video? Odd.

[maptcb1]

Lol...Vintage tornados? Are those antique? Are they worth more than contempory tornados?

it is a good thing that we have these to help us better understand these things

@kevin120857 I heard about the Topeka tornado, and I guess, correct me if I'm wrong, but Burnett's Mound, people thought that they would be safe, because many thought the tornado would not make it over the mound.
