Texas history

Texas is home to some of the most powerful and deadly tornadoes in the world. The deadliest in the state's history occurred on May 11, 1953.

There are literally thousands of historical markers throughout the Lone Star State.  I see them as I travel up and down the highways and streets of Texas, like these two in Nacogdoches, but, like the vast majority of travelers, I see them as a blur.
