Local Weather History For June 29th...
1987: Farmers in western Floyd County lost nearly all of their cotton, corn and maize crops after early afternoon storms
dropped hail up to golf ball size. The hail was driven along by strong winds inflicting further damage. Worse, about three
inches of rain washed out those crops that had avoided large hail and winds. In Lockney, several carports, power lines and
outbuildings were damaged by winds likely near 75 mph. Similar crop losses were reported from a separate storm in Parmer
and Bailey Counties where at least 2,000 acres of cotton were totaled by large hail and wind gusts to 60 mph. A third
severe storm covered the ground with golf ball hail at Buffalo Springs Lake and along Highway 84 between Lubbock and
Slaton.
