Severe thunderstorms brought large hail and damaging winds to mainly western portions of the Texas Panhandle on the evening of the 18th lasting into the early morning hours of the 19th. A line of thunderstorms moved across portions of Potter and Randall counties between 1:00 AM CDT and 3:00 AM CDT resulting in significant wind damage. The most significant winds occurred between Amarillo and Canyon and consisted of some damage to manufactured homes, power poles, and damage to vehicles from flying gravel and other debris. All of the evidence suggests that the damage occurred from straight line winds as high as 90 mph. Strong northeasterly winds after the storms passed reached 60 to 65 mph and resulted in some additional damage. These northeasterly winds behind the thunderstorms were likely associated with a wake low.
