The Waco Tornado -- 70 Years Later

70 years ago today -- May 11, 1953 -- the first F5 tornado in U.S. history ripped through downtown Waco, Texas, just a mile from Baylor University's campus.
What did the 1953 Waco tornado mean for Waco's future? for Baylor? How did the BU community respond? [Hint: It involved the legendary Dr. Packard.]
Baylor Libraries' Eric Ames (MA '10) looks back at this pivotal moment in our hometown's history, in this special mini-documentary.
