| May 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Kerrville | $1,000,000 | An NWS damage survey concluded a microburst hit the city of Kerrville at approximately 8:00-8:10 PM CDT. The highest estimated wind speeds of 70-80 mph occurred on the west side of Kerrville just up the hill from Peterson Hospital on Rimrock Rd. There was roof damage to several homes on Rimrock Rd. where the backyards faced west and wind came up the hill and took off porches and roofs. Throughout that neighborhood there was substantial tree damage, many of the trees snapped or uprooted. The swatch of significant wind damage was well over one mile wide and continued southeast into the area off Ranchero Rd. Hail accompanied the strong microburst as evident by trees stripped of leaves and piles of hail still on the ground nearly 24 hours later. The microburst and wind damage was also seen farther southeast between Hwy 16 and Hwy 689 in a neighborhood just west of Kerrville-Schreiner Park. Other wind damage was reported across the city of Kerrville but was not as significant. Estimates of damage are placed near 1 million dollars from the multiple homes that were damaged by the wind, roof and shingle damage from the wind and hail, and the downing of hundreds of trees that were blown down or damaged. |
