Tornadoes and Hail in Texas, June 4, 1995

Early morning severe thunderstorm dropped golf ball-size hail on a ranch in the southeastern part of the county.

The flash flooding in Childress and Hall Counties caused $500 thousand in damage mainly to the railroad track north of Estelline. Large hail southwest of Dimmitt broke the windshield and dented the sheriff's car. The tornado was nearly stationary and was accompanied by three land spout tornadoes just southwest of the main tornado on the flanking line. Tornado path is an estimate based on spotter reports and video.

Two LP supercell thunderstorms developed in northern Gaines County, both travelling across the community of Loop. The first storm had hail up to golf ball-size as it crossed Loop, and the second storm had hail up to softball-size and wind gusts to 60 mph. Cars and roofs in the area that had sustained extensive damage from a storm on May 29th had not yet been repaired. Sheriff's office and fire fighters were giving reports.

Six tornadoes were on the ground at once. The main tornado from the updraft base damaged a home. There were five other land spout or satellite tornadoes associated with this supercell. One home was damaged. Tornado path is an estimate.

The Gaines County LP supercell moved east into northwestern Dawson County, across the Welch Community. The storm produced hail up to softball-size and a brief tornado.

An LP Supercell produced very large hail across much of the city of Andrews causing damage to cars and roofs totalling around $6 million. Over 700 roofs had shingles replaced. Reports received from SKYWARN spotters, sheriff's office, and off-duty National Weather Service personnel.

Severe thunderstorms produced large hail, severe straight-line winds, and flash flooding from morning through mid-evening on the 4th. Hail as large as tennis balls was reported in Knox City in Knox County and wind speeds were estimated at 100 mph five miles north of Vernon in Wilbarger County. Flash flooding was reported in Foard County 19 miles west of Crowell where Highway 70 was flooded and in Crowell where numerous streets were flooded. In Wilbarger County several cars stalled in high water in Vernon and Highway 283 north of Vernon was flooded.
