Local Weather History For June 15th...
1967: An active dryline supported severe storms with hail, high winds and even a few tornadoes this evening from near
Amarillo south-southwest to the southwest South Plains. The first reports of unusual weather were received from Plainview
where several funnel clouds were sighted northeast, west and northwest of the city. Later in the evening, hail and high
winds damaged property and crops in a 5x20 mile area covering southeast Castro, northeast Lamb, northwest Hale, and
southwest Swisher Counties. Some of the worst damage was dealt to Hart where average hailstones about two inches in
diameter (some up to grapefruit size) blanketed the ground to a depth of about six inches and severely damaged the roofs
of 30 homes in the process. Many windows were broken and up to 20 vehicles had serious body damage. The hail was
accompanied by winds between 50 and 75 mph which damaged the roof of the Hart High School. Property damage from hail in
the town was estimated at $150,000 with another $15,000 from wind. Crop losses in the area totaled $1.5M and some
livestock were injured. By 10 PM, a storm near Happy produced a brief tornado about two miles east of the town without
causing any known damage. Later in the night, hailstones up to tennis ball size for 15 minutes caused widespread property
and crop damage in and around Whiteface. Extensive roof damage was reported and many window panes were broken along with
vehicle windshields.
