42 Miles of Hell: The Story of the Worcester Tornado of '53

42 Miles of Hell: The Story of the Worcester Tornado of '53

The Worcester Tornado of 1953 was the single-most devastating natural disaster to ever hit Massachusetts. At a time before early warnings and weather alerts, the people of Central Massachusetts didnâ€™t know what hit them as the massive funnel cloud moved across the state obliterating everything in its path. When all was tallied, 94 people were dead, more than 1,300 were injured and 10,000 to 15,000 were left homeless. â€œ42 Miles of Hell; the Story of the Worcester Tornado of â€˜53â€ tells the personal stories of those who lived through the storm â€“ stories of fear, near escapes and the years of emotional and physical recovery. With photos and stories plucked from the archives of the Worcester Telegram and the Evening Gazette, â€œ42 Miles of Hellâ€ takes you on a personal journey from the twisterâ€™s touchdown to the recovery and the neighbors who pulled together in its wake.
