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.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

$$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 10, 6:45 PM CDT, 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 6:45 PM CDT, 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 645 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016 .AVIATION... TSTM ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE PRIMARY RISK OF IMPACTS EXPECTED AT KCDS THROUGH ABOUT 04Z-05Z. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL TONIGHT UNDER SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE FLOW. COLD FRONT WILL DIVE INTO THE AREA LATE MONDAY MORNING WITH POST FRONTAL CLOUDINESS RETURNING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 404 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016/ SHORT TERM... NO MAJOR CHANGES FROM THE EARLIER FORECAST UPDATE ISSUED AT 1238 PM. WEAVING DRYLINE WAS UNDERGOING A NORTHWARD SURGE INTO THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE /DUE TO STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION/ WHILE FARTHER SOUTH THIS BDRY WAS BEGINNING TO BULGE EWD TO THE SOUTH OF YOAKUM AND TERRY COUNTIES. CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION HAS BEEN COMPLICATED BY EARLIER ELEVATED STORMS ON THE SOUTH PLAINS THAT ARE ONLY NOW BEGINNING TO INGEST SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY IN THE SRN ROLLING PLAINS. IN THE WAKE OF THIS ACTIVITY...COLD POOL MODIFICATION IS SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL BDRY LAYER DESTABILIZATION AND DEEP CONVECTION. OVERALL...FEEL THE GREATEST NEAR TERM SVR THREAT WILL BE ACROSS OUR NRN ZONES WHERE BOTH SHEAR AND CAPE ARE ADEQUATE...HOWEVER AS STRONGER DEEP LAYER SHEAR SPREADS FARTHER EAST INTO THE ROLLING PLAINS WE EXPECT THIS REGION OF LARGER CAPE TO GAIN THE FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED SVR AND SUPERCELLS. AS AN UPPER LOW CONTINUES EAST FROM SRN AZ...DEEPER WESTERLIES WILL PUSH THE DRYLINE OUT OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH THE BRUNT OF CONVECTION LIKELY PRECEDING THIS EXODUS. DRIED POPS MORE AGGRESSIVELY FROM W-E AFTER MIDNIGHT WHICH FITS THE OVERALL NWP AND WPC QPF THEME WELL. LONG TERM... WILL KEEP THE EXTENDED SHORT IN ANTICIPATION OF CONVECTION. WEAK RIDGING WILL RETURN MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. AS NEXT STORM SYSTEM COMES ASHORE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE LATEST RUNS SHOW THIS SYSTEM REALLY WEAKENING AS IT MOVES INTO ARIZONA LEAVING LITTLE OTHER THAN A BIT OF SEPARATION IN THE MEAN FLOW THOUGH SOME REGENERATION OCCURS ONCE WELL EAST OF OUR AREA. NEXT SYSTEM DIVES INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY LATE FRIDAY AND THIS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING US THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TSTMS. POSTFRONTAL PRECIP LOOKS MUCH LESS LIKELY FOR MONDAY NIGHT THAN IT DID 24 HOURS AGO AND SO HAVE GONE AHEAD AND DRIED THINGS OUT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SOME HINTS AT PRECIPITATION CONTINUE BE SHOWN BY DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY THOUGH THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY LOOKS TO REMAIN OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. HAVE FURTHER TRIMMED THE POPS LEAVING MAINLY THE SOUTHWEST EXPOSED AT THIS TIME ON TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY REMAINS A BIT LESS CLEAR AS THE LOW TRANSITIONS THE REGION. THURSDAY SHOULD SEE A FAIRLY TRANQUIL DAY THOUGH MOISTURE RETURN WILL BEGIN WITH A RETURN OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...SOME SEVERE...ON FRIDAY NIGHT. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 99/99/26
