Local Weather History For October 18th...

1983 (18th-20th): Record-breaking rainfall flooded Lubbock and much of the South Plains and northern Rolling Plains from
the 18th through the 20th as the remnants of Hurricane Tico overspread the region. Several instances of total rainfall
reaching or surpassing seven inches were commonplace, including Brownfield, Lubbock and Paducah. Lubbock and Brownfield
reported the most significant damage. Flood waters in Lubbock forced the evacuation of residents in a nursing home, closed
many streets, overfilled playa lakes, flooded many homes, and totaled hundreds of cars. Farm crops, especially cotton,
suffered extensive damage. Much of the cotton that managed to survive an early freeze this month was a complete loss after
the floodwaters. For the time, this flood went down as one of the biggest in the history of the South Plains. Combined
property and crop damage/losses were reported to exceed $250M.
