You can still see the scars of this night in the towns of Higgins and Glazier, TX with the open lots around those small towns when you drive through them 60 years later.
Nope, about 35 years before my time. Would have been an amazing storm to witness I am sure. I drove through Glazier and Higgins atleast 10 times while storm chasing the past few years. When you look for it, it is not hard to see. If you didnt know the history of those towns though you probably wouldn't see it.
Yes, I forget exactly where, but it was in the area around Pampa. I'll have to check to be sure, though. I was prior to the Higgins/Glazier hits.

It's amazing what a lasting impact a storm like this can have 60+ years down the road.
Were you in the storm yourself?

I appreciate the comment regardless. I will take a closer look next time I'm out that way.

Is the tornado footage at the end actually of the '47 tornado? If so do you happen to know where it was taken at (near Pampa I assume)?

My grandmother's niece, Helen Ruff Miller
and her 23 day old son, Donald Edward
Miller, were killed here in this Higgins, TX
tornado. They are buried in Shattuck, OK.
I have copies of their death certificates.
