Item description from seller

Original black and white photo postcard. 5 1/2" x 3 1/2." Title printed at the bottom of the image. "Kodak Paper" stamp box printed on the back. Postcard is used. Postcard is virtually pristine and intact. A Fine copy. This postcard shows the aftermath of the catastrophic F5 tornado that hit Waco, Texas in 1953. This tornado was the deadliest tornado in Texas history and the 11th deadliest in United States history. The 1953 tornado in Waco was part of a series of violent tornadoes to hit several states in the Midwest. The depicted scene on the postcard shows destroyed buildings on Austin Street between 3rd and 4th Streets. The photograph was taken by a staff member from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. There is handwriting on the back in blue ink. "Joy" addresses "Betty" (or "Bitty") and talks about how this corner of Waco was spared more so than other parts of the city. The note is dated 1953.
