Local Weather History For March 30th...
1963: Hailstorms caused considerable damage to property in parts of Cottle, Terry and Hockley Counties late this
afternoon. Some of the worst damage was dealt to a large area from ten miles WNW of Paducah to 14 miles ESE of Paducah
where hailstones grew to the size of tennis balls. A Taylor winsdscope anemometer measured a wind gust to 55 mph during
the storm. Hail damage in this area alone reached $70,000 with $5,000 in wind damage. A separate hailstorm in Terry County
produced even greater property damage in Brownfield from hail around golf ball size. Residences in the city suffered about
$200,000 worth of damage, focused mainly from two blocks north of Tahoka Road south to Harris Street, and into the center
of town and then beyond to the 1000 block east of the square. Similar size hail (possibly from the same storm that
impacted Brownfield) later struck Ropesville resulting in several thousands of dollars in damage.
