Local Weather History For May 27th...

1980: Late this afternoon, a tornadic supercell thunderstorm developed in southwest Lubbock County near Slide. Four men
working on an oil rig nearby took shelter in a nearby ditch as the tornado approached the work site. The derrick was
pushed into the mud pits damaging the derrick, the substructure and 10,000 feet of pipe. Fortunately the men were not
injured. Near Shallowater, another tornado touched down causing intermittent damage to structures as it continued
northward to just north of Abernathy.
