Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level low pressure was to the west of the region moving eastward which provided lift over West Texas. There was a nearly stationary cold front/boundary that extended from across the Permian Basin southward to the Trans Pecos and Rio Grande. Wind shear and instability across the area were good. These conditions resulted in large hail developing across the Permian Basin and Trans Pecos. Most of the large hail fell in and near the City of Midland and produced at least 200 million dollars of damage.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeLightning struck a tank battery which caused it to explode on FM 1379 just north of County Road 230. When the tank exploded a chunk flew off and knocked down some power lines. FM 1379 was closed briefly between CR 200 and CR 230 to put out the fire. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
