Sustained wind speeds of 40 mph were common with gusts up to 72 mph recorded per the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet and the KVII-TV Schoolnet. These winds caused widespread tree and utility line damage. Structures sustained roof damage in Muleshoe (Bailey County), three semi-trucks were blown off of Interstate 27 near Abernathy (Hale County), and another truck was blown over on Texas Highway 214 just south of Friona (Parmer County).
