1991: A family of at least 15 tornadoes with large hail developed late this afternoon across the western South Plains and
far southwest Texas Panhandle well in advance of a strong storm system spinning in the Great Basin. The most significant supercell storm developed in northern Hockley County near Pep and moved northwest into far southwestern Lamb County and southeast Bailey County accompanied by a large, multi-vortex tornado that was at times over 1/2 mile wide as documented by storm spotters. This significant tornado seriously damaged or destroyed nearly 20 homes, but miraculously no casualties or injuries occurred. By early evening, this supercell turned northeast moving back into Lamb County where it produced two tornadoes simultaneously southwest of Amherst over open country. After this supercell decayed in Castro County, another significant supercell developed farther west in Parmer County where a strong tornado was videoed by citizens near Lazbuddie. This tornado was accompanied by several smaller tornadoes that were observed rotating about the primary tornado at a distance of 1/4 mile. The parent tornado demolished one residence northwest of Lazbuddie and injured one person while the satellite tornadoes damaged mostly fences and irrigation equipment. All of these storms produced large hail at times up to baseball size. The storms this day were part of a regional outbreak of severe weather that stretched south into the western Permian Basin where gigantic hail up to 6 inches in diameter (cantaloupe size) fell at Pyote in Ward County! |
