| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2009 | Hail | Doud | 3 hurt, $20,000,000 | Giant two and a half inch hail stones fell over the South Haven, Sun Ridge, and Lake Ridge subdivisions of southwest Lubbock between Slide Road and Quaker Avenue around 15:40 CST. The hailstones damaged roofs and skylights on over a 1,000 homes in the mentioned subdivisions, and three persons sought medical treatment at local hospitals for minor injuries related to the hail. Hail stones also reportedly killed a number of birds. Well over 600 vehicles were damaged in these subdivisions and adjacent areas of the city. Damages in the mentioned subdivisions were estimated at $20 million, with hail damage across the city of Lubbock estimated to total $40 million. |
| April 2012 | Hail | Doud | $20,000,000 | A destructive high-precipitation supercell exited Hockley County and continued moving southeast across southwest Lubbock County. A significant hailswath accompanied this supercell with hailstones as large as baseballs at times. Reports of baseball size hail were received from the following locations: Slide Rd and 150th St, 120th St and Milwaukee Ave, and also along FM 41 just west and east of Highway 87. Damage to vehicles and homes in this hailswath was severe with many windshields, windows and skylights completely destroyed. Several hundred homes will likely require new roofs. |
| April 2009 | Hail | Doud | $15,000,000 | Multiple reports were received of two inch diameter hail in the Meadow South subdivision and adjacent areas of southwest Lubbock between Frankford Avenue and Slide Road shortly before 15:40 CST. Damage to roofs, skylights, and vehicles was widespread in this section of the city. More than 1,200 homes and approximately 500 vehicles were damaged in the mentioned subdivisions, with an estimated $15 million in economic loss. ||Hail damage across the city of Lubbock is estimated to total $40 million and resulted in three injuries. |
| August 2014 | Hail | Doud | $2,000,000 | A narrow swath of hail up to 1.25 inches in diameter traveled east from the South Plains Mall to near the U.S. Highway 84 exit on South Loop 289. This hailstorm was observed firsthand by NWS employees who stated the hail was very dense and fell for about 10 minutes without much wind. Countless vehicles in south Lubbock received numerous dents from this barrage of hail and some buildings (such as the Pyramid Plaza) suffered broken skylights. Insurance adjusters estimated several hundred homes with shingle roofs would need replacement due to damaged shingles. Combined property damage estimates could exceed $2 million. |
| July 2010 | Flood | Doud | $1,000,000 | Following the excessive rains and flash floods which occurred late on the 3rd and early on the 4th, residual flooding persisted in low lying areas of southern Lubbock County through much of the 6th. The most prolific flooding occurred near playa lakes. ||A number of Lubbock roadways remained closed due to lingering flooding, including: 73rd and Wayne, 74th and Memphis Avenue, Elgin and Flint Avenues south of Loop 289, Canyon Avenue and 70th Street near Trinity Church, North Quaker and Ursuline Streets, Erskine Street and Milwaukee Avenue, East 19th and Guava Avenue, the Broadway Street entrance to Mackenzie Park, Avenue W at 61st and 63rd Streets and University Avenue, 114th Street between Quaker Avenue and Indiana Avenue, and Quaker Avenue between 24th and 27th Streets. Flood waters slowly receeded in and around homes and businesses in these locations through the 6th.||In addition, prolonged standing flood waters caused extensive damages to cotton crops across the southern half of Lubbock County. Local agricultural officials declared that these damages totalled $2.8 million. ||In all, Lubbock County officials estimated that more than 300 homes and businesses sustained damages in the Fourth of July flash floods and floods. It is likely that more than 100 vehicles became stranded or otherwise damaged in the flood waters across the county. Although no serious injuries were reported, total economic losses were estimated at nearly $8.6 million by the Texas Department of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For the purposes of this report, these losses were differentiated by heavy rainfall, flash flood, and flood at $250,000, $4.5 million, and $3.8 million respectively. |
| August 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Doud | $350,000 | A downburst with winds estimated as high as 70 mph at times traveled northeast from near Frankford Avenue and Spur 327 in southwest Lubbock to the Lubbock International Airport and to just north of Idalou. Peak winds on the periphery of this downburst were officially measured at 63 mph at 2200 CST at a Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet located 3WNW of the University, 59 mph at 2203 CST at the Lubbock ASOS, and 65 mph at 2223 CST at a KAMC weather station in Idalou. The downburst caused moderate damage to a greenhouse located at Lowe's Home Improvement store. At a nearby Home Depot store, the canopy to a greenhouse was partially damaged and several steel fence posts embedded in concrete were bent. At an apartment complex located near 50th Street and Slide Road, the roof of one unit was blown off. Damage to homes was generally light and consisted of some downed fences, broken rain gutters and torn roofing shingles. Many trees lost limbs of various sizes and in a few cases entire trees were toppled. Power outages were confined mostly to small grids in and around the path of the downburst. Total monetary damage from this downburst is estimated around $350,000; much of which was incurred at the home improvement stores. |
| June 2017 | Lightning | Doud | $50,000 | Lightning struck a two-story single family residence and proceeded to cause several small fires within the electrical wiring in the upstairs of the house. The family of four was uninjured, but displaced as fire crews tended to hot spots above the ceiling. |
| September 2012 | Thunderstorm Wind | Doud | $50,000 | A small bow echo with winds determined to be as high as 75 mph at times caused scattered damage from the western portions of Lubbock northeast to just north of Idalou. At Hays Field (located at Lubbock Christian University), the strongest winds toppled portions of a 15-foot tall center field brick wall. A short while later, approximately 20 vehicles at Texas Tech University lost their side windows from wind-blown gravel and small debris. Also, a nearby bus stop booth had five windows shattered from lofted debris. These winds also downed a light pole on Texas Tech's campus. As this storm continued moving east-northeast, high winds toppled a few vendor tents at the South Plains Fair. Fortunately, prompt warnings allowed attendees to seek appropriate shelter.

Additionally, a house located southeast of Lubbock International Airport was struck by lightning; however, the extent of damage, if any, was not reported. |
