DePauw photos. This thing lacked a condensation funnel for much of its path, similar to the West Liberty, KY tornado of 2012:

Guin and Yampertown pics. Ground scouring is visible in some and in one you can a mangled trailer wrapped around a tree/low hanging object of some kind:

More Guin and Yampertown, and the final 2 pics involve Xenia:

The colored pic in the woods is sheet metal from the Guin tornado that is still there 50 years later:

Trey (Convective Chronicles) did a case study video on the 74 outbreak. Really interesting in how the overall synoptic pattern of the month of March really helped set the stage for April 3rd.

Has this photo ever been verified? I don't recall the Tanner tornadoes going towards Decatur; I do know Guin went through it and dissipated near it, Huntsville formed not that far from the dissipation point of Guin, so maybe it's one of those two?

I’m from Tanner originally, and I think those photos may be from around the Hazel Green area. The caption mentions Greenville Pike and that’s in Madison county I could be totally wrong, though.

I actually didn't see the original FB post on this photo because the link came up as 'post removed' - turns out all I needed to do was click it! Being that it originally came from a post of 'clippings' by Mike Wilhelm five years ago, the only way I see it not being genuine is if someone gave a random picture of another tornado to one of the local newspapers.
