Thought some of y'all might be interested in this documentary.

Here's a link from the National Weather Service about the tornado.

And here are some pictures from that link that I thought were interesting.

Map of the tornado by Ted Fujita (the guy who created the Fujita Scale that rates tornado intensity). Many of his papers are located in the Southwest Collection.
