| episode_narrative | A complex of strong thunderstorms propagated southeastward over the southwestern South Plains region of west Texas during the late afternoon and early evening hours of the 12th. Strong outflow near these storms initially produced severe winds at Ropesville in southeastern Hockley County, as estimated by a Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet meteorologist. The outflow boundary, however, quickly evolved into a classic haboob dust storm and propagated eastward over a five county area south of Lubbock. Wind gusts associated with the haboob reached severe levels at a number of Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet sites. The mesonet observation site near Wolfforth in southwestern Lubbock County recorded a gust to 71 mph. Radar, visual, and photographic observations suggested that the haboob became well separated from the parent convection.Local farmers and agricultural officials reported that while damage to cotton crops was extensive, it was notably less than that caused by the devastating haboob of June 22nd. This was attributed to the mature cotton plants in mid July that were resilient to the impact of wind-driven dust. Nonetheless, damage to the already drought-stricken cotton industry totaled at least $750,000 with more than 7,000 acres lost. |
