Dust Head’s one and only Paul Kalkman was credited in the new CBC documentary Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery.

Paul did an incredible job helping transfer part of the 600 hours of archival footage that went into making this project possible.

A well-deserved recognition for his hard work and dedication.

While the date and location were originally unknown, thanks to the sharp eyes of our community, we've made some incredible discoveries.

Special thanks to leonhart0823 on Reddit, who meticulously analyzed the footage and identified key details:

Around 10 seconds into the video, the person recording mentions "starting down through what used to be Chamberlain."

By examining house numbers in the footage and comparing them with Google Maps, they pinpointed the location as 3316 Chamberlin Drive in Indianapolis.

Further research into tornado occurrences in the area revealed that this footage was likely recorded on September 20, 2002, during a tornado that struck southeastern Indianapolis.
leonhart0823 also noted:

The car shown in the garage appears to be a Nissan 350Z, which was first released in August 2002, helping to narrow the timeframe.

The UPS truck visible features an old logo that was replaced in March 2003, further confirming the period.

These findings strongly suggest that this footage documents the aftermath of the September 20, 2002 tornado.
