2007 (28th-29th): The largest March U.S. tornado outbreak ever recorded unfolded late this day and into the early
nighttime as tornadoes touched down from far northwestern Nebraska south to the Texas South Plains. In the NWS Lubbock forecast area, a pair of tornadic supercells initially erupted along the dryline over the central South Plains during the late afternoon hours and tracked northeastward across the extreme southeastern Panhandle through the early evening. These two storms produced a total of seven tornadoes in the South Plains region, one that was observed to be a large multi-vortex tornado north of Quitaque that tracked about 20 miles to the north-northeast. This tornado was rated an F2 after damaging or destroying four structures. No injuries were reported. By late evening, the retreating dryline merged with an advancing Pacific cold front. This initiated a line of severe storms over the western South Plains that progressed eastward over the region through the early morning hours of the 29th. This final bout of storms resulted in widespread reports of large hail up to the size of golf balls and damaging winds. Total property damages were estimated in excess of $200,000. |
