Local newspapers reported golfball size hail in Providence, a small community in extreme northwestern Floyd County, as the storm initially moved into the county. Storm chasers reported quarter size hail at 16:54 CST west of South Plains. Skywarn storm spotters reported quarter size hail in South Plains at 17:01 CST. The hail continued to fall along a east-southeastward moving swath to near Cedar Hill, where local fire department officials additionally reported quarter size hail at 17:51 CST. The supercell storm that produced the hail swath eventually produced a family of tornadoes in eastern Floyd County. |
