Reenactment for a Civil Defense Promotion Film released in 1978 to inspire communities to implement early warning systems. Actual community members from the locality participated as themselves, as the actors, in the scenes. It is assembled with news reels from local and national press, such as those found in AP News Reels, as well as local channels like in Dayton, OH. Parts that include the Xenia Tornado starts at approximately 10 minutes in. This film covered multiple states from Alabama to Ohio. It was released in 1978 and the subject content is about 1974.
The film was transferred from 16 MM Film in 1987 to 1" video tape from a Film Chain at Channel 22 in Dayton, OH. The master tape is stored in our archives and is of interest to me because it is where I grew up and for historical and public interest purposes. Because the film chain equipment used slide technology at the time, and one slide that had been used so much it left a raster burn in the monitor that was used to project the slide. Therefore, in some shots, you can see the 22 image burned (superposed) into the center of the image.
