Severe Weather 2023

Obviously quite different setups but this is a bit reminiscent of June 1995 with the Friona/Dimmitt and Pampa/Allison outbreaks within the span of a few days. That was thought to be anomalously late in the season for the area, as well. I don't believe those caused any fatalities, though, despite their high impact for the region.

Yes Pampa lucked out somehow without fatalities, but the other big tornadoes that day (Kellerville, Allison, Hoover), on 6/5/1995 near Dougherty, and 6/2 (Friona, Dimmitt) didn't impact towns.

I thought the Friona one went through town and was rated F4 (stated to be such in a Weather Channel documentary), but information about those events has become so sketchy it's hard to be sure.

If Tim Marshall is saying this, you know it's bad.

Much remains to be determined but...when was the last time Texas had a tornado officially rated in the violent category? Off the top of my head I can't think of any, so it might pre-date the switch to the EF-scale!

Edit: Jarrell? Or maybe there was an F4 in '99?
 
It will be a miracle if there is just that 1 fatality by the images that have been shown. Absolutely sickening feeling
