Local Weather History For June 21st...
|
2006: A complex of non-severe thunderstorms propagated over the West Texas South Plains region during the evening of the
21st. A series of wake-lows developed along the back edge of the convection. At least two of these features resulted in severe wind gusts that caused damage across portions of Swisher and Lubbock Counties. Winds that were measured by the West Texas Mesonet at speeds up to 72 MPH severely damaged a mobile home near Vigo Park around 8 PM. More than two and a half hours later, winds measured by the West Texas Mesonet, the Automated Surface Observing System at Lubbock International Airport, and at the National Weather Service Forecast Office, reached speeds up to 68 MPH. These winds destroyed a barn, blew the roof off of a mobile home, and downed road signs from Shallowater to Lubbock. The most significant damage occurred near Idalou, where severe winds caused extensive damage to the Lubbock Childrens Home facility. Roofs were blown off of several structures |
