Gainesville (1936) - The forgotten Twin Tornado(es)???????

In at least a few ways the 1936 Gainesville, est. F4(+), tornadic event is similar to to both the 1965 Dunlap/Elkhart, Indiana event(s) and the 2014 Pilger, Nebraska event. All events caused damage that was at minimum rated F/EF4, all were killer tornadic events, and all involved twin funnels/tornadoes. But while all the data about "Pilger" showed it was two tornadoes from the start (due to current knowledge of tornadoes we didn't have before), the previous events were sometimes described as "double-funnel" tornadoes - and are officially called such. Even more interesting, is according to both Dr. Tom Grazulis (including in his book Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991) and Dr. Greg Forbes (over on The Weather Channel), Prof. Ted Fujita, when studying the Georgia and Indiana storms, at least suggested that Gainesville was hit with two tornadoes, if not twin tornadoes, that crossed paths at almost the same time. On the other hand, he first thought the Indiana storms were tornadoes with huge "double-funnel" vortexes, and then later believed them to also be twin tornado events. So the question is: due to how old the source material of the data is, is that the reason there's no possibility of the records for the 1936 and 1965 storms will change, and thus will always officially be considered "single tornadoes with double vortexes"? (This would also explained why the 1966 Candlestick Park tornado and 1905 Snyder tornado are considered a single tornado instead of a tornado family.)

Tornado Outbreak
The tornado was a part of an larger outbreak of at least 11 significant tornadoes, that included two F3 tornadoes that killed at least 3 more people in Illinois and Arkansas. The outbreak affected a rather huge area of the Midwestern and Southern United States; the tornadoes impacted at least 6 states: Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana.

The 1969 Cincinnati tornado was a powerful, devastating and deadly tornado that struck Cincinnati, Ohio on August 9, 1969, at 5:57pm. The tornado was a F3 or F4 on the Fujita scale. (Most records show its official rating as F3, but some have as an F4 and its possible it may have caused F4 damage.) Part of an larger outbreak of at least 10 tornadoes, it caused at least 4 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

Event summary
In the late afternoon hours of Saturday, August 9, the tornado formed in the Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming, 8 miles north-northeast of downtown Cincinnati. Moving east–southeast at 40–50mph, it traveled through the city's suburban neighborhoods of Hartwell and Roselawn, and the several of its northeastern suburbs, including Reading, Arlington Heights, Golf Manor, and Madeira. It carved a path through Hamilton and Clermont counties that was 22 miles long and up to 400 yards wide. It hit the communities of Milford and Perintown before finally dissipating north of Williamsburg.

All the death were in Hamilton County, including three members of one family. In Madeira, 30 people were injured when a tent they were in at a church event collapsed on top of them.

It is considered by some to be one of "Cincinnati's Forgotten Tornadoes" due to at several other notoriously and tragically horrible news/disasters that hit the U.S. headlines in August, 1969; including the horrific Manson Massacre and Hurricane Camille. In addition, the area was hit by seven significant tornadoes in 1974, 1999 and 2012, including an F4 and an F5 in 1974 and an F4 in 1999.
