Local Weather History For February 21st...
2009: A strong Canadian cold front swept southward over the West Texas region very early this morning. Winds associated
with the front were generally sustained in the 30 mph range, however, a few severe gusts were measured by the Texas Tech
University West Texas Mesonet and the KVII-TV Schoolnet. The winds, which peaked as high as 66 mph at Memphis, caused
significant damage on the Memphis High School campus. The roof was partially peeled off of the gymnasium and total damages
to the facility were estimated at $1M. The winds additionally caused blowing dust which reduced visibilities to as low as
two miles. No injuries were reported.
