Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 11, 6:21 PM CDT, 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 6:21 PM CDT, 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 621 PM CDT WED APR 11 2012 .AVIATION... STRONG SCATTERED -TSRA OCCURRING NEAR THE STATE LINE IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY MOVE EAST THIS EVENING...THUS INITIALLY IMPACTING KLBB LATER THIS EVENING /AOA 00Z/ AND LATER STILL AT KCDS...UNLESS STORMS INITIATE ALONG A BOUNDARY NORTH OF THE SAID TERMINAL. WILL THEREFORE MAINTAIN TEMPO AT BOTH TAF SITE BEGINNING AT 12/00Z FOR MVFR VISIBILITY...VFR CLOUD DECKS AND TSRA. OVER NIGHT...TEMPS COOLING TO NEAR THE DEWPOINT MAY INDUCE MVFR TO IFR CLOUD DECKS BEFORE LIFTING LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CDT WED APR 11 2012/ SHORT TERM... LOW LEVEL DESTABILIZATION ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION...A LITTLE SLOWER ACROSS PARTS OF THE FCST AREA WITH A FAIRLY THICK CIRRUS SHIELD MOVING ACROSS THE WRN ZONES. NORTH OF THAT CLOUD COVER CONTINUE TO SEE TSRA BLOSSOM ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AND ALSO BEGINNING TO SEE STORMS MOVING OFF THE HIGH TERRAIN NEAR RUIDOSO AND EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER VALLEY IN THE PERMIAN BASIN. CU FIELDS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE ERN FCST WHERE SUN HAS BEEN MORE PREVALENT. MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT IN SPREADING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS TSRA ACROSS MAINLY THE NRN HALF OF THE FCST AREA THIS EVENING...AND WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HANGING ON ACROSS THE AREA MUCH BETTER THAN YESTERDAY HAVE BUMPED POPS UP INTO LIKELY CATEGORY ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE FCST AREA. INCREASING WINDS ALOFT EAST OF AN UPPER SHORT WAVE EJECTING NEWD ACROSS ARIZONA AS WELL AS BACKED LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL MODESTLY INCREASE BULK SHEAR AND POTENTIAL FOR STORM SCALE ORGANIZATION. THURSDAY WILL SEE THE DRYLINE PUNCH EWD TOWARD THE ROLLING PLAINS AS THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. THAT WILL LIMIT STORM CHANCES TO THE ROLLING PLAINS AND SERN PANHANDLE ALTHOUGH CAP MAY STRENGTHEN. STILL SITUATION JUSTIFIES A CONTINUATION OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE EAST. WEST OF THE DRYLINE WINDS WILL BECOME A BIT BREEZY WHILE HUMIDITY LOWERS TOWARD FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. HOWEVER...FUELS LOOK TO BE GREEN ENOUGH TO MINIMIZE THREAT GIVEN MARGINAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. WILL THUS CANCEL FIRE WEATHER WATCH. LONG TERM... AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MOVES EAST OF THE REGION BY LATE THURSDAY...WE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS FLOW REGIME WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS LOW DIGS INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION ON SATURDAY AS IT MATURES WITH SLOW PROGRESSION WITH A SECONDARY LOBE OF ENERGY APPROACHING MONDAY. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT RETURNS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY COULD SEE STORMS ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS WITH A LOW PROBABILITY OF ADDITIONAL FORMATION ALONG THE DRYLINE AS DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT ENHANCES UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION AFTER SUNSET. THIS FEATURE IS FAIRLY WEAK...BUT COULD BE JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP ACTIVITY GOING INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. INCREASING SHEAR MAY HELP TO PROMOTE EARLY DISCRETE STORMS IN THE NORTHEAST WITH A TRANSITION TO A QLCS MODE DOWN THE DRYLINE IF THINGS CAN STAY ACTIVE. HAIL AND WIND WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT THOUGH SOME LOW TORNADIC POTENTIAL MAY EXIST FAR EAST. FRIDAY LOOKS TO KEEP THE DRYLINE EAST OF THE ESCARPMENT...IF STORMS MANAGE TO GET GOING OUT EAST...ANOTHER AREA OF UPPER LEVEL LIFT IS DUE OVER THE REGION FRIDAY EVENING. ONCE AGAIN...ANY THREAT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FAR EASTERN ZONES WITH THE WEST REMAINING QUITE DRY AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHES. ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER COULD BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY WEST OF THE US 385 CORRIDOR. SATURDAY LOOKS MEAGER INSOFAR AS RAIN CHANCES GO ONCE AGAIN AND ONLY THE ROLLING PLAINS LOOK TO HAVE MUCH...IF ANY...CHANCE OF RAIN. OUT WEST...WE COULD SEE A PERIOD OF ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH PLAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. PACIFIC FRONT ROLLS THROUGH SUNDAY DRYING THINGS OUT AND PUSHING THE DRYLINE WELL EAST. COLD FRONT ENTERS THE CWFA ON TUESDAY WHICH MAY NOT EVEN MAKE IT INTO THE ENTIRE REGION. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
