|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2004 | Hail | Grandview | $20,000 | A high precipitation supercell moved slowly southeast across northern Dawson County during the late evening of the 6th. This storm resulted in a large swath of damaging hail ranging in size from quarters to baseballs. Most of the damage was restricted to cotton crops from the Lynn/Dawson county line near Grandview. A survey by the Dawson County Agricultural Extension Agent concluded that over 5,000 acres of cotton were lost. The storm weakened before crossing U.S. Highway 87 at Arvana where it produced only pea size hail. |
