It was 10 minutes past 10:00 p.m. on Friday, May 28, 1880 when a tornado brought death and devastation to Savoy, Texas. It happened so quickly that the hotel keeper in Savoy said he reached for his pantaloons when he heard the cyclone approaching, but in what he described as five seconds of terror, the town was almost completely destroyed before he could even get them on. graphic designed by Freepik
