Local Weather History For April 23rd...

1980: An intense upper air cyclone drew closer to West Texas this afternoon resulting in several strong storms from the
northern TX Panhandle south to the Permian Basin. In the South Plains, nearly four inches of rain fell in less than one
hour in Tahoka causing flash flooding. Some cars were stranded under some of the HWY 87 overpasses requiring high-water
rescues. Water was reported in one home and some residences.
