Exeter Tornado Anniversary Remembers 1953 Destruction
The 1953 Exeter tornado left a 100 foot by two mile path through Exeter Club and Jady Hill while Worcester, Massachusetts suffered 94 deaths. Residents recall a green sky and freight train roar as the twister struck on a June evening. No fatalities reported in Exeter, four injured, and scenes of shattered club, market, and homes are recalled by witnesses.
