episode_narrativeA complex of thunderstorms developed over the Texas and New Mexico border region during the late afternoon of the 25th and propagated eastward over the western South Plains. Hot afternoon temperatures over the region and relatively dry air in the sub-cloud layer contributed to an enhanced potential for dangerous thunderstorm winds. ||A mesoscale cold pool organized as thunderstorms evolved into a complex over the western South Plains during the early evening hours. The intense outflow, characterized by a blinding wall of blowing dust, resulted in significant and widespread damage in a number of South Plains communities. Multiple wind gusts between 70 and 80 mph were recorded by area meteorological mesonets, including the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet. ||A dairy farm east of Muleshoe (Bailey County) suffered extensive damage and a number of cattle were killed. At least two trailer homes were additionally heavily damaged and/or destroyed there. More than 130 utility poles were blown down across the area. Damages were estimated to exceed $350,000 across the region. No injuries were reported.
event_narrativeA haboob associated with thunderstorm outflow spread eastward over western Lubbock County around 18:00 CST. Visibilities were significantly reduced in areas from Wolfforth to Shallowater, as winds gusted to near 50 mph.
