Local Weather History For September 20th...

2001: Thunderstorms intensified to severe levels over portions of the South Plains and into the extreme southeast
Panhandle this afternoon. Of the five severe storms that developed, the most destructive storm tracked across Cottle
County. Initially moving southeast at 15 mph, this storm quickly intensified into a high precipitation supercell, slowed
and turned due south over central Cottle County taking direct aim on Paducah. Copious amounts of hail with a few the size
of grapefruits (4 inches in diameter) were wind-driven through windows and into the sides of homes and businesses
resulting in extensive damage to every building in town. Winds that accompanied the hail were on the order of 70 mph based
on a damage survey. Power poles were snapped, power lines and trees were blown down, and several buildings sustained minor
structural damage from the wind. In addition to the damaging wind and hail, the town also experienced extreme rainfall
rates as high as 5 to 6 inches per hour. This deluge of rain led to flash flooding and several cars were stranded in high
water up to five feet deep. Many homes had six inches of water in them. Estimated total property damage in Paducah alone
was $200,000 with another $100,000 in damage dealt to area crops. This storm lost its significant hail threat as it moved
south of Paducah, but still managed to create destructive winds that damaged several barns, outbuildings and power poles
from Grow to about seven miles north of Guthrie.
