El Reno Tornado 2013 – Lessons Learned

The National Weather Service in Norman Oklahoma has published a video detailing the events of the deadly tornado that hit El Reno Oklahoma on May 31, 2013.

This informative video is a must see for all storm spotters as well as the general public. The tornado that hit El Reno defied all logic of what we knew of tornadoes and their paths which resulted in the death of several expericence storm chasers. This video will also explain how to develop an emergency evacuation plan for youself and your family.

An excellent film brought to us by RCA (Radio Corporation of America), 1944. It is the story of two teenage brothers, both amateur radio operators, who joined the Navy during World War II, and shows how radio helped win the war. Thanks, Scott (KD4VVC), for making us aware of this film.
