Local Weather History For May 13th...

1949: Residents of Farwell and Texico were treated to an ominous sight this Friday evening in the form of a white tornado
that tracked southeast and east Texico. Lawrence Ham in Farwell managed to snap a few rare photos of this narrow cone
tornado as it roamed northeastward. This tornado completely destroyed a small garage at the Jim Billingsley farm east of
Texico along with some windmills at other nearby farms. Hail as large as tennis balls caused some damage to area wheat
crops, but much heavier wheat crop losses were noted by farmers farther northeast toward Friona. Source: The State Line
