2003: A textbook northwest flow outbreak of severe thunderstorms impacted the Texas Panhandle and South Plains late this
day. Storms first developed along the higher terrain of eastern New Mexico before moving southeast and growing upscale into a mesoscale convective system (MCS). This MCS produced numerous instances of severe straight-line winds and some hail as large as golf balls. Southeast of Olton, intense winds around 80 mph uprooted trees, downed power poles, damaged the roofs of homes, and destroyed 15 center pivot irrigators. Similar damage was noted farther west in Bailey County and also to the east in Plainview. Total damage to area properties exceeded $750,000. |
