May 11, 1953 Waco F5: “Monster From the
Skies”
The Texas Collection at Baylor University recently shared some
fascinating images on the U.S. Tornado photo group
of Waco following the devastating F5 tornado that hit the city on May 11, 1953.
The Waco tornado was one of only five reported that day, though
it’s quite likely there were more than that.
The Waco tornado killed 114 people
and injured 597.
Another of the tornadoes reported May 11, 1953 was an F4 that
struck parts of San Angelo, Texas off to the west of Waco. 13 people were
killed there.
