Rare Video of Great Bend, Kansas Tornado

This is one of the very few videos of the tornado that landed on Great Bend in Kansas on August 30, 1974. This is almost the exact opposite of the tornado from Mulvane: the former had a perfect shape, was white, and caused some destruction. This one is black and looks like a spinning blob, and hardly damaged anything. It received an F1 rating; however, this is because it stayed mostly on the plains and hardly damaged anything. Had it crossed a town it looks like it could have been at least an F3. The black color is largely due to the fresh mud and silt that it sucked up while travelling across the plains.
