What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
A thunderstorm moved across Martin County and produced tennis ball sized hail in Stanton. The only damage that was reported during a damage survey was a few dents on the hood of some cars. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
The Dawson County supercell moved south across eastern Martin County. Reports of nickel to golfball size hail were received along a swath from near the rural community of Brown to Lenorah. Extensive damage occurred to cotton crops, especially in the northeastern parts of the county. The path of the damaging hail ended several miles north of Stanton, where pea size hail was reported shortly before 21:00 CST.
Hail to the size of golfballs accumulated three feet deep on Highway 349. The Texas Department of Transportation in Martin County was called out for the second time this night to close parts of that highway due to hail. Parts of Highway 349 remained closed due to high hail drifts for at least nine hours.
