Anton Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A fast-moving tornado developed within a line of thunderstorms and moved north-northeast at 40 to 45 mph. Based on the NWS storm survey and radar data, the total track was determined to be 3.4 miles from extreme northeast Hockley County into far southeast Lamb County (the tornado's length in Hockley County was about 1.8 miles). This tornado caused EF1 damage to a well-built home located about one mile east-southeast of Anton and destroyed a large sheet metal building on the same property. In addition to downing large tree limbs, six power poles were snapped and two large center pivots were heavily damaged. Data from the Lubbock WSR-88D radar confirmed a tornadic debris signature that extended to just over 5000 feet at times. The owner of the house was inside at the time the tornado struck and was not injured, but moments before she had walked outside to see why her satellite TV signal deteriorated. The tornado caused sufficient damage to deem the house a complete loss by her insurance company. Preliminary damage estimates for all structures, personal property, utility poles, and the large center pivots were approximately $500,000.
The Texas Tech West Texas Mesonet station measured a 68 mph thunderstorm wind gust. Power poles were snapped by the strong wind.
Strong thunderstorm wind blew down power lines.
