Supercell thunderstorms developed over northwest Oklahoma during the mid-afternoon hours and moved southeast through the evening hours. Hail up to softball-size was reported over many areas of Woodward county. In addition, several weak tornadoes occurred near and south of Woodward, OK. The tornadoes were brief in duration, although one did produce some damage east of Sharon, OK. The more extensive damage occurred with the very large hail that ravaged most of the city of Woodward. The hail shattered numerous automobile and building windows, some of which caused injuries. Two injuries occurred as hail busted through car windows. Another injury occurred to a girl that was closing her storm shelter. She broke her wrist after being struck by tennis ball-size hail. The Mesonet site located 2 miles south-southwest of Woodward recorded an interesting drop in pressure as the supercell tornado moved nearby. The storms moved southeast with large hail becoming primary threat as they moved over Clinton, OK. Other thunderstorms developed over the Texas panhandle and moved into far southwest Oklahoma and adjacent portions of western north Texas. These storms moved over mainly rural areas of Hardeman Foard counties, with large hail likely occurring and wind gusts over 60 mph.
