The wider storm

The combination of a well defined surface dryline, weak upper level disturbances, and strong to extreme instability, resulted in scattered afternoon and evening severe thunderstorms across portions of the Big Country and Heartland areas. The severe storms were mainly east of an Haskell to Abilene to Ballinger to Brownwood line. The vertical wind shear was strong enough for most of the storms to become supercell thunderstorms. The severe storms produced mainly large to very large hail.

Began near Albany (32.7300, -99.3000).
