| Description: | Same as Catalog # 513675. Cyclone and Blizzard Hit South West. "Tornadoes and heavy snowstorms take a toll of at least 21 lives, with over 800 injured in Texas, Oklahoma, and the Rocky Mountain states. The Dallas area is strewn with debris of shattered houses, and cars thrown about like playthings - an estimated 4 million dollars damage in the tornadoes' wake." In Colorado, people shovel around cars and clear paths to doorways. Adult walks holding hand of small child who sort of walks through the snow. In Texas and Oklahoma, wrecked buildings and freight trains are left in the aftermath of a tornado. Lots of shots of destruction. | |
