Straightline winds associated with a severe thunderstorm uprooted several trees and power poles. The downed electrical lines led to several fires and caused power outages in Hugo. Several fences were also blown down. Two motorists sustained minor injuries.
A thunderstorm produced torrential rainfall, 4.8 inches in 90 minutes, south of Hugo. A trained spotter reported a "river" approximately 30 feet wide and 6 inches deep, running through his yard.
Two homes were damaged just northeast of Hugo. Strong thunderstorm winds snapped a cottonwood tree and damaged a windbreak. The homeowners also reported damage to their windows, roof and gutter systems as large hail, up to one inch in diameter, also accompanied the storm.
Heavy rain caused a small creek in the town of Hugo to jump its banks. Several streets and buildings were flooded. A trained spotter measured 2.74 inches of rainfall in Hugo.
Lightning struck a radio station tower. Some of the equipment was blown out, knocking the station off the air. The exact time of the incident was not known.
