This video documentary was originally produced by NOAA, The American Red Cross, and FEMA around 1980. It focuses on the Wichita Falls, TX tornado of 1979, but also features Al Moller and a lot of neat preparedness footage from back then. My Dad taped this for me off PBS or something, and I watched the tornado footage many times as a kid. Now, it is available online in 3 parts. If you only have time for one video, watch Part 3. Interesting SKYWARN audio. (Click the links below the picture for the video.) Part 1 has some graphic descriptions of injuries, etc., so you may want to avoid that part.
