Severe thunderstorms created many reports of dime- to baseball-size hail across the South Plains on the afternoon and night of the 2nd. The baseball-size hail fell west of Matador and near Olton. Not much property damage was reported, but many area cotton crops were damaged or destroyed. Brief tornadoes were reported near Olton (by the fire department), Edmonson (by spotters), and Denver City (by the public). No damage was reported with any of these tornadoes. Strong winds toppled trees, knocked over fences, destroyed one business, and damaged several roofs in Floydada around 2310 CST.
