11/15/1987 Palestine, TX tornado?

[W. Grant Dade]

Next Thursday is the 20th anv. of this tornado and I am trying to find more information. I am new to East Texas and our station may do a story on this event. I doubt there are but, I was hoping to find some old radar images of the storm as it moved from Palestine to Whitehouse, TX.

Thanks

Give NCDC a call at 828-271-4800. This data is definitely not online, but I place odds at 99% that they have all the imagery on microfilm from that day and can sell you a hardcopy. You'll be wanting the frames from the WSR-57 at Longview TX... Grazulis lists the time as "1503" so you'd be looking at around 2103 UTC. I'd be very interested to get a copy of the imagery if you decide to get any from them... I may also be willing to go halfsies.
