An outbreak of severe storms affected many locations on the Caprock late this day and through the overnight hours resulting in numerous instances of hail damage, destructive winds and flooding.  Several of these storms were supercells and a few even developed organized low level rotation.  However, official NWS storm surveys did not find conclusive evidence of tornadic activity, but instead discovered several swaths of intense rear flank downdraft winds that at one point were measured as high as 96 mph.  Preliminary estimates indicate that several thousand acres of newly planted cotton and grain crops throughout portions of the South Plains would require replanting following torrential rains and soil erosion.  Total property and agricultural losses from this event will likely approach $250 million.

Flood in LUBBOCK, TEXAS
From 07-JUN-14 23:10:00 to 08-JUN-14 08:00:00 (CST-6)
Location: HURLWOOD
Flood cause: Heavy Rain
Property damage: 15.00K
Crop damage: 100.00M
Reported by: NWS Employee

Torrential rains resulted in widespread flooding of playa lakes, streets and roads throughout far southwest Lubbock County, or generally from Wolfforth and points south.  Roads such as Brownfield Highway and County Roads 179 and 41 had several sections that at times became impassable by car.  One sedan was disabled by floodwaters near Farm-to-Market Road 1585 and Brownfield Highway shortly after midnight CST.  A daycare school in Wolfforth reported water of two feet deep throughout the building which would necessitate a complete remodeling of the walls and carpeting.  The floodwaters gradually receded from area roads by early Sunday morning, although some tertiary roads remained overwhelmed by playa lakes for several days to follow.  Damage to recently planted cotton and grain crops was particularly severe as tens of thousands of acres were washed away from the heavy rains and flooding.  Area farmers will likely replant with sorghum as the cotton planting deadline had passed.  Estimated crop damage and losses due to flooding will likely reach $100M.

Thunderstorm Wind in BAILEY, TEXAS
From 07-JUN-14 20:46:00 to 07-JUN-14 21:10:00 (CST-6)
Location: MULESHOE WARREN ARPT
Magnitude: 78.00 EG
Property damage: 500.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A strong low-level mesocyclone accompanied by destructive rear flank downdraft (RFD) winds tracked southeastward from Muleshoe to about 12 miles southeast of Muleshoe.  Although law enforcement reported a tornado, no definitive evidence of such could be determined from the NWS storm survey conducted in the following days.  Combined with direct accounts from storm chasers, the storm survey determined that significant straight line winds were to blame for the majority of damage discovered generally north of Highway 84.  Maximum sustained winds were estimated between 80 and 90 mph and created much damage to rural homes, a dairy business, farm equipment, and area power poles.  The worst damage was dealt to the Track Dairy where several lightweight structures such as shade canopies were destroyed.  At least eight head of cattle perished at this location from collapsing structures and another 30 to 40 were injured.  This damage swath ended north of Sudan along Farm-to-Market 303 where a center pivot was overturned.
