Local Weather History For May 22nd...

1973: Late this afternoon and evening, scattered supercell thunderstorms littered portions of the South Plains and far
southern Panhandle with hail. In at least four separate cases, copious amounts of small hail piled up to depths of two to
four inches impeding travel on area roads. One of these supercells produced gigantic hail as large as 5.0 inches just
north of Seagraves in Yoakum County. In Lynn County, a near 40 minute barrage of large hail, including some hailstones as
large as four inches in diameter, covered the ground. Most of these hailstones were two inches. The ground in Brownfield
was completely covered with hailstones averaging two inches in diameter. Near Halfway, a tornado touched down for a few
minutes over open country damaging nothing. Considerable damage was dealt to area crops and property, however the $35,000
crop damage estimates listed in Storm Data were likely far below the actual dollar value given the amount of acreage
devastated.
