During the later evening hours of June 8, 1951, an intense and destructive F3 tornado travelled through mid-west Oklahoma affecting the towns of Corn and Colony, Oklahoma. The tornado would become the first tornado caught on motion pictures in the United States. The tornado would not cause a direct fatality on injury, though one man was killed when he was struck by lightning. The tornado would travel 11 miles and would reach its widest point of 173 yards (519 ft.) near Corn and Colony. A tornado warning gave residents ample time to seek shelter in homes as the tornado would just miss downtown Corn. The tornado would move extremely slow at around 10 mph, heading in a southeastern direction. After exiting Corn, it would then converge with another tornado and strengthen it as it would enter Colony a few miles away. After damaging several houses in Colony, it would then enter a rope-out phase and dissipate just southeast of Colony. While no one was directly affected by the tornado, one man was killed when struck by a lightning bolt while the tornado was still on the ground. The tornado would inflict $250,000 (1951 USD), in 11 mi (18 kilometres), though the time on the ground is unknown.
