Local Weather History For May 2nd...

1978: Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms rumbled across the southern South Plains from early this morning through
early afternoon. Starting at 1:25 AM, a hailstorm struck Slaton dropping hailstones as large as golf balls. By 6:42 AM,
Lubbock County experienced another intense storm; this time in the form of a tornado near Acuff as spotted by the public.
The tornado moved easterly for three miles before dissipating. No damage was reported from the tornado, but winds near 70
mph along with 1/2 inch hail caused a swath of mostly roof and crop damage west and east of Acuff. At 7:40 AM, wind gusts
to 62 mph damaged a piece of roofing in Lubbock that landed on a glider inside a hangar causing minor damage. A final bout
of storms developed early in the evening and once again took aim on Acuff. The town received winds as high as 70 mph which
mildly damaged a barn four miles to the west.
