FROM BLUFFTON ICON - James Crawfis told The Icon that it was like finding a buried treasure.
It is exactly that. On an 8 mm home movie camera, James’ dad, Gary, filmed the aftermath of the April 1965 tornado that tore through the Bluffton countryside. The reels remained in a storage box until this year when James transferred the movies to digital.
In fact, The Icon is not aware of any movies shots of the tornado’s after match. Crawfis shared the now-YouTube video with the Icon and we share it here with viewers.

Here are Ken Collins photos of early July scenes in Ada taken with 35-mm film, you know, the old fashioned camera with Real Film that you have to get printed or have a darkroom of your own. Nearly everyone has a camera with them nowadays since nearly everyone has a cell phone or computer tablet. Most cameras that require film are stored away in a drawer gathering dust...waiting for the time they qualify for entry into a museum.
