...NWS Damage Survey for 04/25/23 Tornado, Damaging Winds and Hail Event...

.Overview...
A supercell developed across the far southern Texas Panhandle during the late afternoon hours of Tuesday, 
April 25, 2023. The supercell moved southeastward through the north-central South Plains and into the west-
central Rolling Plains before dissipating before midnight on the 25th. This storm brought an almost continuous 
swath of large hail and damaging wind reports along its approximately 125 mile track. As the storm passed 
through Floyd County, a tornado was observed by storm chasers in open country to the south and east of 
Floydada around 9:20 pm CDT. The NWS damage survey did not find any visible damage in the area. 

As the storm continued southeast, a weather station of the West Texas Mesonet in far northwest Dickens County 
recorded a 90 mph wind gust at 9:39 pm CDT. Three miles to the southeast, several structures in the community
of McAdoo showed various degrees of wind damage, which was determined to be due to severe rear-flank downdraft
(RFD) winds. Approximately 12 miles farther to the southeast, large to giant hail impacted much of the town of
Dickens, causing extensive property damage. Despite a strong rotational signal from the NWS WSR-88D radar at 
Lubbock (approximately 56 miles away) no indication of severe wind damage was observed in and around Dickens
aside from the wind driven hail damage.

demolished, with cinder block walls collapsed to the outside of the building in a roughly symmetrical pattern. A
farmer's COOP building lost roughly 30 feet of the northern portion of the metal panel roof. Roof damage to several
other structures was generally observed as peeling of roofing material on the north and/or west sides of the structures.
All of the damage indicators supported severe straight line wind damage associated with a strong RFD surge observed on
radar.
