1953 - “The Waco Tornado”

Sixty Years ago, on May 11, 1953, one of the deadliest tornadoes in US history ripped through downtown Waco.  One hundred fourteen people died, and 600 injured.  Hundreds of business and thousands of cars were destroyed or damaged.  The property destruction exceeded $45 million (that’s over $340 million in today’s money).  

The Dr Pepper Museum, which was heavily damaged during the tornado, has a new exhibit entitled, Storm Watch 2013.  The exhibit tells the story of that fateful day and the clean up and recovery that followed.  In addition to the exhibit, the Museum is holding a lecture series about tornadoes and Waco history.

A few notes about the photos: 

• There is a photo showing the Dr Pepper Museum then and now.  You can clearly see where the wall was rebuilt with different bricks.
• There is a photo that shows the historic Suspension Bridge which is interesting because that part of downtown has changed so much.  I didn’t realize until I saw these photos that the bridge was still used for car traffic at that time.  I am unsure when it was closed to traffic, but now it is part of a beautiful park along the river with over 25 longhorn cattle and cowboy sculptures celebrating the Chisholm Trail. The road coming off the bridge through the middle of the photo isn’t even there now.  That’s where the Waco Convention Center now sits!

Additional information about the tornado can be found on our website
