Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	Scattered severe thunderstorms developed across areas on the Caprock and southwestern Texas Panhandle during the early evening hours. Many of the initial storms developed on an outflow boundary that moved into the area from an early morning MCS in the central Texas Panhandle. Storms began near the Texas/New Mexico state line and moved slowly to the east-northeast. The most damaging severe storm of the evening occurred in Castro County. This storm produced a wind gust to 95 mph. These winds caused significant damage in the town of Dimmitt and to the Texas Tech University West Texas mesonet site near Dimmitt. The initial storms produced additional outflow boundaries which acted as a focus for new thunderstorm development. One of these storms adversely impacted the city of Lubbock. A slow moving storm deluged portions of the city of Lubbock with one to four inches of rainfall over a period of about one hour. Many city roads became flooded, with several high water rescues performed by emergency personnel. Several thousand cloud to ground lightning strikes also affected the city. Numerous structure fires were reported around the city including one affecting an apartment complex. The apartment structures were completely destroyed.
