1999: After a bout of severe storms the previous day throughout portions of the South Plains, this day saw widespread
severe thunderstorms with large hail, intense straight-line winds, two tornadoes and multiple cases of aerial flooding. Of all the storms this day, the most destructive was a supercell thunderstorm in Lynn County that produced a large swath of damage from near West Point east-southeastward to Draw. Within this damage swath, intense winds damaged at least 30 center-pivot irrigation systems, snapped or blew over 350 utility poles, uprooted or snapped numerous trees, damaged many barns and sheds, and blew two tractor trailers off Highway 87 south of Tahoka. Flying debris hit two people as they fled for their storm shelters, causing minor injuries. These intense winds also severely damaged two mobile homes near Draw, but the occupants heeded the severe thunderstorm warnings and fled their homes for sturdier shelter just prior to the damage. The storm also produced widespread wind-driven golf ball to baseball size hail throughout the southern half of the county which resulted in at least $20M in crop damage to over 130,000 acres. In Lubbock, a wind gust to 97 mph was measured at the KamC studio. Throughout the South Plains and Rolling Plains, total property damage from these storms was estimated at $1.5M with a staggering $53M in crop losses. |
