This piece of videotape was recorded by a KSNW-TV news crew following the development and eventual merger of F5 tornadoes from Hesston to Goessel, Kansas on March 13, 1990. These tornadoes were part of a much larger, widespread tornado outbreak across the Central and Midwestern United States. Portions of this video received worldwide airplay in the days and weeks after the tornadoes. Note the common occurrence of people seeking shelter underneath highway overpasses in the event of tornadoes, a year prior to the famous, far more dramatic video that was also shot by a KSNW-TV crew.
