episode_narrativeApril 6 High Wind and Wilfire Event Summary: A vigorous storm system ejected eastward from the Rocky Mountains and resulted in widespread strong to severe winds and blowing dust over much of west Texas. The winds additionally contributed to yet another regional outbreak of destructive wildfires over portions of the drought-stricken states of New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. Severe winds were common over the South Plains region with minor damage reported. At least six wildfires ignited in the winds across the South Plains and the extreme southern Texas Panhandle. One fire became a significant wind-driven wildfire that destroyed a single family home in Lamb County. Total damages from wind and fire were estimated near $200,000. No injuries were reported.
event_narrativeDamaging winds downed lines at a utility company sub-station west of Earth in northwestern Lamb County during the early afternoon hours. By 13:30 CST, the downed lines had sparked a dangerous wind driven wildfire that raged through several hundred acres of grasslands. Local authorities were forced to close a portion of Farm to Market Road 303 near Earth due to the fire and reduced visibilities from smoke. One home was destroyed in the blaze. No injuries were reported.
