Local Weather History For March 29th...

1993: A severe weather outbreak affected the South Plains, southeast Panhandle and portions of the Rolling Plains this
afternoon. A supercell developed in northern Terry County and produced hail just below golf ball size before continuing
northeast into Lubbock County where it produced a swath of severe weather. Golf ball size hail was observed at Reese Air
Force Base and also near Carlisle. As the storm moved across western and northern sections of Lubbock, a series of
downbursts and two weak tornadoes occurred. The downbursts damaged several light and power poles including the roof of an
elementary school. Approximately 100 vehicles had window damage. The first tornado touched down in the west-central part
of Lubbock where some buildings at Lubbock Christian University (LCU) suffered damage. Windows were also blown out at a
Junior High School north of LCU. The second tornado struck north-central Lubbock near the Lubbock State School. Damage in
this area was confined mainly to windows. As the storm passed the Lubbock International Airport, the NWS anemometer
measured a wind gust of 77 mph. Total damage from this storm was estimated at $400,000. Additional severe storms produced
hail up to golf ball size from New Deal northeast to Petersburg to southwest of Floydada with similar size hailstones
reported northeast of Paducah and also in Childress where 2 diameter hail fell in addition to 70 mph winds.
