  • 70 years ago: When New England's deadliest tornado ripped through Worcester

On June 9, 1953, Worcester experienced the wrath of nature at its most deadly. And 70 years after the Worcester tornado, the numbers still seem unimaginable: 94 killed, 1,288 injured, 10,000 people left homeless, 4,000 buildings leveled and $52 million in damages ‒ nearly $600 million, adjusted for inflation.
