Local Weather History For July 29th...
2009: A complex of thunderstorms swept southeastward over the northeast South Plains and far southeastern Texas Panhandle
accompanied by widespread damaging wind gusts. Damage across the region was generally limited to downed tree limbs and
utilities, however, a segment of the convective complex that moved over the extreme southeastern Panhandle produced
extreme wind gusts that caused significant structural damage. These winds resulted in the partial collapse of a brick
structure in Estelline. More significant damage occurred as the winds spread into Childress where a number of buildings
were heavily damaged including three local hotels, a hospital, and the high school as measured wind gusts reached 102 mph.
Three people were injured and economic losses across the region exceeded $2.2M.
