1:18 Is that bridge the one on Gage Blvd. that goes over the Shunganunga Creek? The house that my husband & I own is 1-2 blocks west of the tornado path, near 29th & Gage; since it wasn't destroyed by the tornado, it’s one of the oldest in the neighborhood (it was built in 1959).

Definitely Lions Park. I recognize the facilities and the terrain.

ASU's greatest night. And Alabama's greatest night, though the Crimson Tide probably didn't hear about it until the next morning. This Trojan team had pounded 'Bama at Birmingham and was looking confidently toward an AP national title vote. The Sun Devils demolished those hopes!

Hey anyone from 2024

Wow

Thanks for the demo. Have this unit in my consignment pile, but a neighbor's asked to use it for her aunt's funeral service and I had no idea how it operated. Now I just need to locate the cubes which I know are somewhere. Thanks again...!

I REMEMBER IT VERY WELL. LIKE IT JUST HAPPENED…..

Thank you for sharing!

I was in it. Terrifying.

I would love to know how to do this

I was at this game!!!

Grandmas HomeTown ❤YouGrama 💋

🫡 all the GrandFathers & GrandMothers 👴 👵 🇺🇸 mine were here at this time

1978 I was there with my Dad that night SC was just off! 1# team in the country and beat by a fire up sundevils team! ASU just wanted it more!!! Got to give them props!

Hey mate! Any chance you still have this stove/lantern? Been looking for one myself and would love to purchase it if so. Appreciate your time.

What is that spiral under bulb?

Is this from Steamtown in Bellows Falls or earlier out of North Walpole 1962/63?? The NH ride crossed almost immediately into Vermont. 62/63 was before it was all moved to Bellows Falls.

My Dad served as an Army Chaplin on the Aiken Victory from 1946-47. At that time it was used to return US troops back home and take former enemy POWs back to Europe. During those years it sailed the equivalent of around the world four times. Thank you so much for posting this video!

There are houses in my city that look like that without a tornado.

What would an original 16 mm film be worth?

I was 10years old, my Dad was the Minister at West Christian Church. We came out of the basement to see it move to the east towards the Air Port. Bill Kurtis was a member of our church at the time, working at WIBW TV. I remember going with Dad the next day as he called on members of the church effected by this storm. Bill Kurtis’ wife was in the basement of one of the buildings on the Washburn campus while he was on tv telling everyone to take cover.

Wonderful and spectacular. I especially liked hearing that very loud jet flying over about halfway through. Just don't hear that anymore.

great rare footage of North Walpole absolute garbage audio

The little train was owned by Bob Pearson of Kansas City KS. The Wood Brothers steam traction engine doing the threshing was owned by Les Wager of McLouth. That is Les on the platform.

Thanks for sharing these slides. My parents (before they met) had both gone through this tornado. My dad had been in town just a few days and said his Packard car was extremely damaged, front window blown out, but that his glasses still sat on the dashboard, amazingly. His brother and him had to search for the car, which had blown several blocks from where he had parked it.

Those were some well-built homes to have that much of them still standing.

Also, it looks like USS Essex CV-9 puts in an appearance.

in Armordale in K.C Ks. a 40' wall of water came down the Kansas (or Kaw River) and it couldnt make the bend into the Missouri River at Kansas City. All the Bottoms in K C Ks. and N. K C , Mo. and K C , Mo. flooded. The K.C Stock yards and many animals drowned.

Despite this loss, the USC Trojans still shared the 1978 National Championship with Alabama(The Team USC defeated earlier).

I hear these trains at 11:30 every night, 5 am and 7 am

I took movies from 3777 SE Humboldt. A person ran an add he wanted to buy some film as in those days you could sell things like that to the Movie Studios. I called him and told him I and some and would trade mine for his. He can copy mine and send me a copy of his, which he did.

Incredible! I talk with Topeka residents who said 3 tornadoes were sighted side by side!

That's really cool! I grew up in Leavenworth but that timeframe would've been my grandmother's

That looks like my own 4600, an early (1983/84) model with the lo/hi lamp settings. Later versions had only off-fan-lamp. Also, being Canadian, mine has English and French control markings. I also have a stack loader, several clip sets, a remote extension cord, and a carrying case.

I have lived south of Mt. St. Helens for all of my life, near Vancouver, Washington. These photos are from the July 22, 1980 eruption. Actually, there were two that day, and this is the second one. I was fortunate to have seen both of them. The photos were likely taken somewhere south, southwest of the mountain, likely in the northern part of Clark County, Washington, judging from the hills. Hope that this information is helpful. :)

The simple and fun times. No cell phones and computers. Togetherness! And wholesome convos!

is there any way to remove that awful stabilization effect?

These photos are spectacular!!!!!!!!

Anybody ask the Trojans to see if they have a copy of the game film ? Good luck.

Great video! My Mother was 7, she, my Aunt (12), and Grandma and Grandpa went to a neighbor’s house who had a basement. My Grandpa was on the front porch, watching, while the others were in the basement. He joined them after he witnessed the debris flying around. That house sustained minor damage, thankfully! Then my 2 other aunts, my Mother’s older sister and sister-in-law were in the direct path. My Aunt was working at a restaurant, close to Washburn University, everyone had fled to the basement and were screaming at her to get down there. She was so concerned about the cash register so she was the last to go...she made it into the basement and shut the door just as the whole restaurant was obliterated. Lastly, my other Aunt was a student at Washburn University. She and several other students fled to the basement and huddled in a corner. Right before the tornado hit, someone said they needed to change corners. They all ran to an opposite corner just as the building collapsed down into the basement, and crushed the corner that had just been huddled in. All survived. Crazy to think about!

Where's Duke Moose?

THANK YOU - all I can say is WOW!!!

From the start of the 1978 season until November of 1980 this was USCs ONLY loss. They did have a couple of ties.

Scary

All of the film has been donated to and has arrived at ASU. They have assured me that these will be digitized and posted on-line with videos and films of other games within the next two years. Should you have need to check on the status - please contact James Daniels at brandguide.asu.edu/directory?dept=35573

What lucky estate sale finds!!! I have color pictures of the Flint-Beecher tornado, which also occurred on June 8th, but in 1953 that my dad took. We weren't involved; my dad worked as a truck driver for a grocery chain, and they took food to the area. I'm thinking about duplicating my pictures, and donating them to the Flint Historical Society, since they are in color.

I don't believe why people didn't have homeowner's insurance. It's not that expensive, and if you have full coverage for the house and personal belongings, you can start anew. Otherwise, you have to apply for relief funds, and have to settle for something much less. Not very smart!!!

Hi Mike. TornadoMan here. Was the original footage in color?
