Local Weather History For June 8th...

1995: After several consecutive days of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes earlier this week, this Thursday saw an
incredibly volatile setup for violent tornadoes unfold across the eastern TX Panhandle. In the end, 26 tornadoes were
recorded making it one of the most active tornado days ever in TX Panhandle history. Although three of these tornadoes
were officially rated F4 by NWS-AMA meteorologists; one was deemed to be F5 intensity by several NWS research
meteorologists with Project VORTEX who documented far more incredible tree and structural damage than had been observed
with other F5 tornadoes in the past. One F4 tornado directly impacted the city of Pampa early in the outbreak and caused
seven injuries, but fortunately there were no fatalities. Another violent tornado tracked northeast of McLean and grew to
enormous proportions over open land west of Wheeler when it reached 1.25 miles in width. Storm chaser and future NWS
employee Bruce Haynie managed to document this violent tornado early in its life. Some of his video footage was used by
researchers to analyze wind flow patterns in and around the massive tornadic circulation. This tornado, famously known as
the "Kellerville Tornado", is upheld by many meteorologists to have been the most violent tornado this day given
the magnitude of damage it inflicted to area vegetation (e.g. wheat fields scoured and reduced to hardpan) and the fact
that one well-constructed house was swept clean; however, official Storm Data records label this tornado as F4.
