Wichita Falls, Texas Tornado - April 3, 1964

*** Thanks to a majority of the viewers out there, I'm pretty sure that this is another view of the Wichita Falls, Texas tornado of April 3, 1964. So the old description below is now obsolete.*** Annotation added 7/7/09.

The producers of this tape were at a loss as to when & where this tornado took place. They grouped it with the Wichita Falls, TX tornado of April 3, 1964, which, by chronology was the 12th tornado film on the tape. It also could be a tornado in Scottsbluff, NE on June 27, 1955 or Corn, Oklahoma on June 8, 1951. There is a very 1950s looking car in the film which dumbfounded the producers.

Also going to jump on the pile of it being the 1964 Wichita Falls, TX tornado. I have a poster of it back at home and it has identical funnel shape and debris cloud structure.

I was in this tornado: I was 2 years old, and also went through the one in 1979.

@JDart1776 i almost forgot about oakfield, wisconsin in '96

[JDart1776]

@AJTwister97: Actually, there was one in S.D. back in '65 that killed nobody in particular.

[AJTwister97]

also, i dont think i recall an F5 swirling cloud of doom on the northern most tip of the west coast, where its average high is like 60 degrees

[AJTwister97]

there is only one non- fatal F5 tornado i know about: Elie, Manitoba in '07
