Answer 1

Its date was June 9th 1953. The tornado season of 1953 was one of the worst on record in the American storm annals. Two of the ten deadliest US tornadoes struck that year in Waco, Texas(119 deaths) and in Flint, Michigan (115 deaths), both later rated as F5 storms. The Worcester storm, an F4 by most accounts, ranks 19th with 94 deaths across the region. In total, 1953 reported 422 tornadoes resulting in 519 deaths. June contributed 111 tornadoes and 244 deaths to that figure. No year since 1953 has been as deadly. On a lighter note the Worcester Tornadoes are a Can-Am League team based in Worcester. Since the 2005 season, they have played in the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball.
