Local Weather History For June 3rd...

1961: Two significant tornadoes occurred late this afternoon over the western South Plains of Texas. The first was a
massive 1.4 mile wide tornado that moved through central Lamb County from north of Sudan southeast to the vicinity of
Spade. One farm was destroyed, six others suffered roof damage and several outbuildings were demolished. This tornado was
in progress for nearly one hour. A second tornado moved over far northeast Hockley County striking a farm home and
removing its roof, demolished outbuildings and damaged a truck with flying debris. Occupants inside the home during the
tornado described windows and doors being sucked out of the house. Fortunately, the occupants were not injured. Many
telephone poles between Spade and Anton were blown down. The path of this 1/4 mile wide tornado could easily be traced
through open county by the pattern of mangled trees and debris. Large hail up to baseball size accompanied the first
tornado and damaged about 30,000 acres of crops in Lamb County.
