Local Weather History For April 24th...
1973: A tornado touched down in open country early this night eight miles northwest of Abernathy. This one-minute tornado
did no damage, however hail up to the size of golf balls damaged autos and roof tops from Abernathy southeast into Lubbock
and Crosby Counties. This hail also accumulated up to depths of six inches and severely damaged wheat crops. A total of
three funnel clouds were also sighted with this storm as it moved southeast and passed several miles to the north and
northeast of Lubbock.
