5 hours proceeded to build slowly to the southwest before crossing the New Mexico state line.

Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS LUB wrote it up.
A single supercell storm developed in northwest Bailey County this afternoon (just south of West Camp) and for the next 1.5 hours proceeded to build slowly to the southwest before crossing the New Mexico state line. Although no severe weather reports were available in this remote area, Doppler radar indicated that between six and eight inches of rain fell about ten miles southwest of West Camp producing flash flooding. This storm did spawn a left-moving supercell that darted northeast into Parmer County where it later produced hail to the size of golf balls in Friona. Some damage to cars in Friona was posted on social media sites.

NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 14, 2:40 PM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 340 PM CDT SUN JUN 14 2015 .SHORT TERM... TWO AREAS OF CONCERN TO MONITOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH BOTH IMPACTING THE FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO THE SOUTH PLAINS AND ROLLING PLAINS BY VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE FIRST IS LOCATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NEW MEXICO IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN UPPER LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMUM. THE SECOND AREA IS ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO IN VICINITY OF A SURFACE TROUGH AS WELL AS FARTHER WEST WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW INTERACTS WITH THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WILL SEE THESE TWO DEVELOPING SECTORS OF STORMS MERGE ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND INTO THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN PANHANDLE/WESTERN SOUTH PLAINS AS EARLY AS 5-6 PM...FORMING A MESOSCALE COMPLEX SET TO PROPAGATE THROUGH THE SOUTH PLAINS AND ROLLING PLAINS THIS EVENING. WILL LIKELY SEE DISCRETE STORMS FIRE AHEAD OF THIS NEAR THE NEW MEXICO STATE LINE ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH AS 0-6 KM SHEAR INCREASES TO 25-30 KNOTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH SBCAPES OF 2-3 KJ/KG OWING TO GOOD SOLAR INSOLATION THIS AFTERNOON. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS WILL BE THE INITIAL PRIMARY THREAT FOLLOWED BY DAMAGING DOWNBURST WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH THIS EVENING. SHOULD SEE THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX/LINE LINGER ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS THROUGH A DECENT CHUNK OF TONIGHT AS UPPER FORCING APPEARS TO SLOW DOWN AS IT PUSHES SOUTHEAST. AFTER LEFTOVER SHOWERS/STORMS DEPART BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING...SHOULD SEE A RAIN FREE PERIOD MONDAY MORNING BEFORE STORMS DEVELOP BY EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG/BEHIND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING IN FROM THE NORTH. DEEP LAYER SHEAR LOOKS MUCH LOWER THAN TODAY/S WHILE INSTABILITY MAY ALSO BE FAIRLY BENIGN GIVEN LINGERING MORNING ACTIVITY AND CONVECTIVE INITIATION ONGOING BEFORE PEAK HEATING SETS IN. NONETHELESS...ANOTHER DAY OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS APPEARS IN THE OFFING TO BEGIN THE WEEK. .LONG TERM... NOT MUCH CAN BE IMPROVED UPON OR ADDED TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST. MON NIGHT/EARLY TUES STILL LOOKS WET WITH A SURFACE FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION HELPING TO PROVIDE SURFACE LIFT TO HELP SUSTAIN CONVECTION BEYOND SUNDOWN. MODELS ARE ALSO TRYING TO KEEP THE FRONT AROUND THE AREA THRU TUES AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD HELP TO KEEP CONDITIONS WET FOR A BIT LONGER. AS HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS MOISTURE AVAILABILITY WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE AS FILLED PLAYA LAKES AND EVAPOTRANSPIRATION FROM VEGETATION WILL KEEP DEWPOINTS UP IN ADDITION TO UPSLOPE FLOW. THE SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO REMAIN LOW AS VERY LITTLE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL EXIST. THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE HAZARD WILL BE LOCALIZED FLOODING DUE TO HEAVY RAIN AS PWATS WILL AVERAGE AROUND 1.5 INCHES ON THE CAPROCK AND CLOSE TO 2 INCHES OFF THE CAPROCK. A RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO INFLUENCE THE REGION FROM THE WEST BEGINNING WED WHICH WILL HELP PUT A KIBOSH ON AT LEAST ORGANIZED AND/OR WIDESPREAD CONVECTION. IT WILL NOT...HOWEVER...GUARANTEE WE WILL BE FREE OF PRECIP. WEAKNESSES ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RIDGE WILL ALLOW CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NM LATER THIS WEEK WHICH MAY HAVE A SHOT AT PUSHING INTO WEST TX WITH THE AID OF NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. CERTAINTY IS LOW HOWEVER AND DEPENDS ON HOW FAR EAST THE RIDGE REACHES. THE NEXT BIGGEST SHOT AT ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL BE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS ANOTHER POSSIBLE FRONT MOVES SOUTHWARD INTO THE PANHANDLE AND THE SOUTH PLAINS REGION.
