The Last F5 Tornado in Michigan

The April 3, 1956 Hudsonville/Standale Tornado that killed 17 people and injured 300. This is the only known color movie footage of the tornado and was taken from just north of Lake Michigan Drive northwest of Grand Rapids. This is the earliest known film footage of a tornado suction vortex, which can be seen forming on the west (left) side of the main tornado funnel. Damage footage of northwest Grand Rapids follows. 8mm home movie shot by Eugene Dohm, courtesy of Jim Bird.

@cddude11 I have made a Facebook page with archived photos and movie footage of the damage in Hudsonville and elsewhere. If you are on Facebook search for "West Michigan Tornadoes of April 3, 1956".
