Local Weather History For August 27th...

Isolated thunderstorms with frequent lightning, but little or no
rain, are fairly common throughout Oklahoma and western north Texas
during the summer months. Storms of this type often start grass
fires. This happened on August 27, 1980, across much of Clay, Jack,
and Throckmorton Counties of northern Texas. The fires blackened
large amounts of open grassland, but did little property damage.
