Local Weather History For April 26th...

1998: Widely-scattered supercell thunderstorms developed throughout the region by early this afternoon. One storm tracked
across Parmer and Castro Counties dropping hail up to two inches in diameter and also producing a brief tornado east of
Hart causing $5,000 in property damage. Unfortunately, lightning from a second supercell storm claimed the life of a 37
year-old male farmer south of Hale Center in Hale County. This latter supercell also produced a strong two-minute tornado
just north of Hale Center that inflicted over $100,000 in damages to structures alone. Two people in this tornados path
narrowly escaped injury by seeking shelter in a small interior closet just moments before their ranch-style home was
destroyed. This same tornado also heavily damaged a vacant house
