Local Weather History For June 6th...

1989: A pair of significant supercells developed late this afternoon on the South Plains. The first supercell moved across
northern Lamb County producing large hail near Olton before intensifying into a cyclic tornadic storm as it entered
northern Hale County. At least four tornadoes were documented by the Texas Tech Storm Intercept Team from west of
Plainview into the southeast limits of the city; one of which was rated F2 after severely damaging multiple grain
elevators and nearby homes and outbuildings. Hail to the size of baseballs pummeled downtown Plainview and areas spanning
five miles north of the city center causing significant damage to roofs and vehicles. One police officer was injured in
his car from this hail after being showered with broken glass. This prolific supercell continued east into Floyd County
producing hail to three inches in diameter 11 miles northwest of Floydada before dissipating shortly thereafter.
Unfortunately, another significant tornadic supercell was just beginning farther south in western Crosby County. This
latter storm yielded a long-tracked, multi-vortex F3 tornado that moved east-southeast across the entire length of Crosby
County in 30 minutes. This tornado began as a tall column of slowly-rotating dust three miles south of Lorenzo and was
observed at close range by a Lubbock TV meteorologist (Bob Kleyla) who stated it intensified into a very large multiple
vortex tornado within five minutes. This massive tornado moved east-southeast crossing the intersection of Highways 40 and
651. It continued across White River Reservoir before finally dissipating eight miles west of Spur. There may have also
been multiple satellite tornadoes rotating about this large tornado given several public reports to that effect. Every
farm building, fence, tree, and power pole in this tornados path sustained total damage. A cross-country transmission
tower was also disabled by this tornado. Fortunately
