I wasn’t in the video, but my brothers and I used to watch the assembly line and conveyor belts and hear the PA system from our bedroom window on Wayne St. back in the 60s & 70s.

You're gonna be facing RICO charges for hiring a hitman to take me out for the Freemason Illuminati Epstein Network and you're gonna give back what you stole from me too

Beautiful.

We had a blast making the music and singing Mills Brothers Songs! Thanks Chris Hood and Fond Kiser for organizing this event!

This is sensational. I’m looking forward to hearing about the Lazy River Benefit Music Fest!

This town is definitely changing as i grow older. My dad had Zs and Bings. I remember so many nights at Zs with my dad bringing toddler me and my brother to run around.

One of the tornadoes passed just south of my uncle’s farm near Prospect, Ohio, on state route 257. I believe the tornado was in a rope stage. You could see a shallow trough in the field and then it crosses the road and demolished a church. It literally went right up a slate sidewalk through the small cemetery and nailed the church. The grave markers closest to the church were the old, thin tablet-looking ones. They were tilted inward towards the suction of the funnel on either side. Kind of eerie.

So incredibly well done

The Sun is a deadly laser

Can't remember palm sunday twisters but Yesterday came out that year. Jimmy clark won Indy 500, I had my 1st Communion at St Michaels, and my Grandfather died on June 5th.

Beautiful!

I'm sorry for your loss. Their energy is still here, so don't think you're alone.

😊❤

That was absolutely fantastically great thank you

My man from Piqua, Ohio and a friend.

My husband was born 8 days after this outbreak on April 19, 1965. He passed away on June 5, 2022. I was 8 years old when the outbreak happened. We lived in Michigan, and it was a stormy day, and we had tornado watches, but no tornado. We lived in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. (Jan Griffiths).

Wow, I have never seen this or knew about this. I was born in Shelby County, Sidney Ohio in 1965

Absolutely astounding footage for the time. Such a heartbreaking day. Thank you for sharing this!❤

Before Clinton and the globalists ruined the Dayton metro area... Grew up in Piqua in the 90s. Didn't resemble this at all. I went to Favorite Hill. Seeing it again brought tears to my eyes. What a difference... the years go...

My grandmother retired from Allen A and I’m pretty sure she was in this video 3 times. Velma Finfrock, thanks for the video.

this is just a crazy thing to see, and seeing an outbreak is rare!

My mom remembers this she was 14 living in wells county she said keystone Indiana got hit the hardest a mother and child were parished in side a church

Orrore. E. Dolori. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

A lot of these tornadoes should of been rated F5

Gotta wonder when God sends a tornado to wipe out a church.

just love this!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this historic footage......

I didn't know there was color footage of this event.

"Yesterday"....a perfect tune to go with destruction.

Thank you for bringing this to us. There is comparatively little video footage of these older storms which makes them even more valuable.

Nearly 60 years ago. All has been rebuilt. There's been more tornados since.

Song doesn't match footage but still a trip down memory lane.

Thank u for sharing. And the music so haunting and warm sounds like my grandmother's old upright piano

This was a tornado outbreak and nobody expected,By the time warning went out it was over,

I remember the blanket tornado warning which was issued by the Weather Bureau that evening just after 6 pm. I was standing on a hill, looking north from North Walnut Street in Bloomington, IN and seeing thunderstorm clouds which looked like atomic bombs up north of Indianapolis. The next weekend we drove up to Frankfort to visit my aunt and uncle. The damage around Lebanon, IN was mind-bending. During our trip, we drove over to Russiaville and Alto, IN -- which were *gone*.

Thanks for sharing this! It was fun seeing around Piqua again and so many familiar faces. I’m going to share it with my grandpa, Glenn Devers 😁

Such horrible destruction! Thanks for sharing. It was good, Chris.

Stop that music that's crazy!

Dad drove us through Pittsfield to see the aftermath. Seven miles from us then.

Produced in 57 Born in 59. Dad was running wild. Love it..

this is amazing seeing piqua in its hay days

Whatever happened to that drunk cop

Outstanding

Was that the Joe Tricoff orchestra I hear or the Off Beats? 😀. I am from Gorno Verbani (Xino Nero) too! Came over a bit later than your granddad. Nice of you to remember your roots! :-)

Mine too, Eli. Time has wings..
