Event narrative (NOAA)
A destructive high-precipitation supercell exited Hockley County and continued moving southeast across southwest Lubbock County. A significant hailswath accompanied this supercell with hailstones as large as baseballs at times. Reports of baseball size hail were received from the following locations: Slide Rd and 150th St, 120th St and Milwaukee Ave, and also along FM 41 just west and east of Highway 87. Damage to vehicles and homes in this hailswath was severe with many windshields, windows and skylights completely destroyed. Several hundred homes will likely require new roofs.
