Cabot, Arkansas Tornado Film, March 29, 1976

A destructive tornado swept through the central business district of Cabot, Arkansas north of Little Rock on Monday, March 29, 1976. Five people died and sixty-four others were injured in Cabot, part of a regionalized tornado outbreak that also resulted in other deaths and multiple injuries. The tornado event drew Dr. Ted Fujita and student scientists from the University of Chicago for a full survey soon after on March 31, during which several photographs and two home movies were obtained. Ultimately the tornado was rated F4 on the original Fujita scale. This silent color Super 8mm film provided by Allen Chapman shows the tornado in the formative, mature and dissipation stages along with a view of the devastation in downtown Cabot at the end. Another film from a different angle photographed by Donald Beeks was also shot. That film was widely utilized for photogrammetric study at the University of Chicago and National Severe Storms Laboratory, along with clips making appearances in various NOAA/NWS spotter training films and public tornado documentaries in the 1980's and 1990's. This film along with many others utilized by Dr. Ted Fujita and students at the University of Chicago is permanently archived with the Southwest Collections/Special Collections Library at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
