Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA severe weather outbreak impacted the South Plains of west Texas during the afternoon hours of the 14th. ||Scattered thunderstorms developed rapidly during the early and mid afternoon hours, initially along a southward moving cold front over the southern South Plains. This activity evolved into several supercell storms and thunderstorm complexes. A large high-precipitation supercell tracked over portions of Lynn County. This storm was observed by the VORTEX II project, and winds measured by the research armada as high as 84 mph caused a swath of damage from Tahoka to near Wilson. Veteran storm chasers additionally observed a brief and weak tornado south of Wilson.||Complex storm interactions, including mergers and splits were observed as the outbreak evolved. An anticyclonic left-moving storm resulted in a swath of golfball size hail and damaging winds measured up to 76 mph by the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet over portions of Lamb and Hale Counties. These winds caused significant structural damage to a residence south of Olton. Other storms caused significant crop losses due to large hail, particularly in Lynn, Lubbock, and Yoakum Counties. The convection eventually evolved into a linear bow-shaped complex that produced damaging winds over the southern Rolling Plains during the evening hours. ||Total economic losses across the South Plains were estimated to exceed $500,000. No injuries were reported.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeLocal newspapers and utility officials reported that a lightning strike on a home in Tahoka resulted in a ruptured natural gas line beneath the home. The leak was detected and repaired without incident, but crews reported that a small hole and burn mark were present in the gas pipe when it was replaced the next day. Other electronics and appliances inside the home were additionally destroyed by the lightning strike.
