A widespread tornado outbreak transpired throughout the Midwest and Ohio River Valley on June 2, 1990, with several intense tornado families occurring in the late afternoon through evening hours across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.
While this was a very concerning sight to the videographer and Albion, Illinois home owner, Davida Lesner, the tornado was one of the most gracefully dramatic video sequences recorded from this event. The tornado would produce F4 damage to several farms and homesteads across southeast Illinois.

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!
