Local Weather History For August 15th...
1978: Late this evening, pilots aboard a B-52 while on a training mission spotted a small tornado 15 miles southeast of
Spur over open country. About 25 minutes earlier, numerous residents observed a thin, columnar tornado in open country
farther north about seven miles west of Crosbyton. This tornado moved slowly east and was only visible for a few minutes.
None of these tornadoes produced damage.
