episode_narrativeApril 15 High Wind and Wildfire Event Summary: Another potent spring-time storm system moved over the Southern Plains of the U.S. on the 15th and resulted in strong to occasionally severe westerly winds over much of the region. The winds followed several consecutive days of record high temperatures. This combined with ongoing drought conditions to create an extremely critical fire weather situation over a large part of the Southern High Plains. A large wildfire was ignited by downed power lines in Hockley County. The fire destroyed one residence and injured three people. Two of the injured were fire fighters engaged in battling the blaze. The winds were indirectly responsible for another fire that destroyed a residence in Lubbock County where a large outdoor cooker was blown over. Damage estimates for the event total $250,000.
