Local Weather History For June 17th...

1966: Four tornadoes and one large hailstorm struck parts of the South Plains late this evening into the night. The first
severe weather report was from southeast Lamb County around 7 PM when hail up to three inches in diameter pounded the
Spade and Anton areas leaving two inches worth of hail on the ground. About 5,000 acres of early cotton were severely
damaged and almost all rural homes lost windows and experienced heavy damage to roofs. A funnel cloud was spotted with
this storm at the time and this may have developed into the first tornado about six miles east of Olton around 8:45 PM.
Three other tornadoes were observed later this evening...one between five and ten miles northwest of Reese AFB at 11:41
PM, another about eight miles northwest of Brownfield at night, and a final tornado about six miles south of Roundup in
southeast Lamb County. Fortunately, no damage occurred with any of these tornadoes. A separate storm near Levelland late
this night dropped golf ball size hail that damaged some crops.
