"Terrible Tuesday" video about 1979 Wichita Falls Tornado

[Morgan Palmer]

This video was given to me by Michael Young with the NWS in Abilene, Texas years ago before that office was decomissioned. It's a great NOAA video about the 1979 Wichita Falls tornado and features a young Alan Moller!

(video quality is what it is)

Morgan,

That was nice of you to upload the video for the rest of us to view and remember a piece of history that took place before chasing became popular. It is interesting to see how some of the tools used for prediction have changed and have greater capabilities, but the basic premise of recognizing the threat and getting the word to the public out hasn't varied.

Thank you,
Tank

The video is shown as private. How can I view it?

Thanks,
Sam

I'm actually looking for the version that Alan Moller provided narration. It may have been a spotter training video featuring the Wichita Falls tornado.

I know he was part of this but not sure about narration...

Here is a list of other historical training videos:
