We apologize, but one of us is sick so it's time for the substitute teacher to show the class an educational film on 16mm. Today's film was released in 1978 by the US Government Defense Civil Preparedness Agency and US, and is about the Super Outbreak of tornadoes on April 3, 1974 that spawned over 140 tornadoes in a 24 hour time period and took the lives of over 300 people. In a future episode we'll talk more about this and add our own commentary tying these events into the larger picture of the Long Seventies.
