When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
April 2019	Thunderstorm Wind	Jayton	$300,000	A downburst caused widespread damage to structures, trees, and about one dozen power poles in and around Jayton. Photos provided by the local Emergency Manager indicated numerous homes sustained mostly light roofing damage, although two homes completely lost their roofs. A few homes had west-facing windows blown out from airborne gravel and stones. Several trees were completely uprooted by these fierce straight line winds. Damage to structures was further compounded by waves of heavy rain overnight that caused water damage to walls, flooring, and personal property. An initial loss estimate of $300K was assigned for all damages.

Other damage was restricted to downed tree limbs.

At least two brief tornadoes knocked down power poles near the town of South Plains. As the parent storm moved southeast, a much stronger tornado developed about seven miles northwest of Dougherty. This tornado, possibly one-quarter mile wide, crossed Highway 62 at 1536 CST and ended about six miles south of Dougherty around 1555 CST. It snapped 400 wooden power poles and twisted/toppled 15 large steel power poles. A shed, barn, and poorly constructed house were destroyed three miles west of Dougherty. A barn and carport were damaged in Dougherty, and another house east of Dougherty suffered 37 broken window panes (due to hail). A farm about six miles south of Dougherty suffered extensive damage. Two large barns were destroyed there, and farm vehicles that were stored in the barns were damaged. A grain storage bin was tossed 100 yards into a nearby field and destroyed. Wood fragments and pieces of tine were thrown across a one-half mile stretch of an adjacent field. One piece of a 2 by 4 plank penetrated a tire. Large center pivot irrigation systems were twisted and over-turned a few miles southwest of Dougherty. This damage was documented by National Weather Service personnel during a storm survey. The same supercell storm moved southeast and caused brief tornadoes near McAdoo, Dickens, Aspermont, and Jayton. An upper level disturbance moving to the southeast in the northwesterly flow aloft helped trigger all the storms.
