This is silent color 16mm film from the air and ground level a day or so after a deadly F4 tornado moved through Monticello, Indiana and portions of White County, Indiana on April 3, 1974.
All cinematography was shot by WLFI TV news crews. I saved and utilized this film footage for an anniversary story on the tornado in 2008, viewable here: youtube.com/watch?v=MnaKXaq3ltU

![Weather Segment with Dave Whitford on WZZM 13 | 1991
These are two weather broadcasts with [former] meteorologist Dave Whitford on WZZM 13 ABC in Grand Rapids, Michigan from presumably July 1991. At the time all three stations in West Michigan had live operational radar systems, both conventional and Doppler. While Im not aware of the specific date of these broadcasts, they were from sometime in the late summer of that active weather year!

![April 21, 1967 Northern Illinois Tornadoes
A deadly tornado outbreak transpired across the Midwest and western Great Lakes on April 21, 1967. Significant tornadoes swept through the communities of Belvidere and shortly thereafter Lake Zurich and Oak Lawn, Illinois. 58 people died and thousands others sustained personal injuries. Locally for several generations this day became known as Black Friday, nor has there been a repeat of this event in the decades since, although a few events have come close in geographic occurrences and intensity [Lamont 1976, Plainfield 1990, and Chicago, west suburbs, 2023].
This Universal Newsreel chronicles only a brief glimpse of the tornado aftermath. Further information on the April 21, 1967 tornado outbreak can be accessed here: https://www.weather.gov/lot/1967_April_Tornadoes
