By 1400 CST on the seventh, another consecutive day of severe weather was underway across the South Plains of West Texas. A dryline mixed into West Texas and stalled around the US Highway 385 corridor. Discrete supercells developed along the entire dryline through the South Plains. Fortunately, many of these thunderstorms did not produce severe hail. The strongest thunderstorm of the day initially developed in Lamb County and slowly moved northeast into Hale and Swisher Counties. Numerous storm chasers observed this storm and documented several tornadoes during its life cycle. The first tornado was observed approximately five miles southwest of Edmonson in Hale County. However, the NWS storm survey team was unable to locate any damage due to its brief duration and lack of damage indicators. Therefore, an EFU rating was assigned. The next tornado was observed several miles southwest of Tulia in Swisher County. Although this multi vortex tornado persisted for several minutes, no damage indicators were impacted, so an EFU rating was assigned to this tornado as well. The third tornado was observed about 4-5 miles northwest of Vigo Park and was the largest of the three. Similar to the other two tornadoes, no damage indicators were found by the NWS storm survey team, so a rating of EFU was assigned. Extremely strong rear flank downdraft winds were observed with this third tornado west of Vigo Park near the intersection of Farm to Market Roads 146 and 2301. A metal barn was partially destroyed and 19 wood transmission lines were snapped. Due to the slow moving nature of these storms, extremely heavy rainfall occurred in central Swisher County which brought an estimated three to six inches of rainfall over a short period of time. A NWS storm survey revealed many paved roads that had four to five feet of water running over the roadway. Several other roads still had mud from nearby fields on the roadway which indicates where water was over the roadway.
