The Waco Tornado

from The Treasures of the Texas Collection

There is an old Native American legend that claims Waco, Texas is immune to tornadoes. The Wacoan Indians selected the area for a settlement because it was situated in a geological recess surrounded by hills and bluffs. But on Monday, May 11, 1953, everyone realized how wrong they had been -- dead wrong. Join the Treasures of the Texas Collection as we look at one of the deadliest natural disasters to hit Central Texas.
