| episode_narrative | A potent storm system lingered over the western U.S. on the 29th, but strong wind fields in advance of the system overspread west Texas during the afternoon hours. The strong downslope winds promoted hot and dry conditions and extremely critical fire weather. A few damaging wind gusts occurred during the late afternoon. At 15:33 CST the Preston Smith International Airport's Automated Surface Observing System near Lubbock recorded a peak gust of 68 mph. Several minutes later an intense wind gust caused damage to a Texas Forest Service greenhouse near Idalou (Lubbock County). A second severe gust of 62 mph was recorded by the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet near Muleshoe (Bailey County) at 15:40 CST. ||The winds and associated hot and dry conditions combined with the ongoing drought to result in several wind-driven wildfires. A fire sparked approximately four miles southwest of Justiceburg (Garza County) at around 10:30 CST and burned 750 acres before it was contained by 13:30 CST. Fire re-ignited at the site of a significant wildfire the previous evening (4/28) near Pep (Hockley County). This re-start burned an additional 3,000 acres (4,500 acre two-day total), but no additional property damage was reported. At approximately 14:30 CST a fire spread and consumed two trailer homes and two outbuildings near Idalou (Lubbock County). One man was left homeless and a firefighter suffered minor injuries battling the blaze. The fire developed as extremely critical fire weather interacted with a small burn area that was lit in violation of a burn ban the previous day (4/28). |
