1966: Parts of Hale and Lamb Counties experienced ferocious thunderstorm winds, hail and even a tornado this evening. Near
7:45 PM, a tornado was observed dipping to the ground briefly in open farmland 11 miles southwest of Hale Center without causing any damage. Thereafter, winds measured at 90 mph at Plainview along with hail to golf ball size battered the areas near Edmonson where hailstones accumulated to depths of seven inches! Crops in a 5x10 mile strip near Edmonson were virtually wiped out. Earlier this storm caused considerable damage to crops in and near Circle. Several farm homes and outbuildings in northeast Lamb County received minor damage from the wind-driven hail. |
