Event narrative (NOAA)
A supercell thunderstorm that developed along a retreating dryline in Deaf Smith and Oldham Counties tracked to the northeast across the southern Texas Panhandle. The supercell entered the city limits of Amarillo during the late night hours of the 28th. This supercell thunderstorm produced copious amounts of large destructive hail across the city. A member of the public reported a mix of quarter to half dollar fell at their residence and was enough to cover the yard. The hail also caused varying degrees of roof and vehicle damage. The supercell continued traveling in a northeastern direction which took it out of the Amarillo city limits shortly before midnight on the 29th.
