1985 Parker Dam Pennsylvania Tornado Videos

Last month I wrote a blog entry entitled "The Great Pennsylvania Tornado of May 31, 1985". In it I published some maps and information about the F-4 tornado that leveled 100 miles of state forest. I said that AccuWeather.com's Henry Margusity, Jim Andrews and I were going to talk to the Boy Scouts that miraculously survived in the cabin at Parker Dam that night.

I have now uploaded photos and videos of the Boy Scouts, Henry's presentation on the weather that day and how forecasting has changed, and my presentation on Pennsylvania Tornado Climatology. All are available at my YouTube channel; I have shown three of them below.
