What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm moved across Crane County and produced wind damage in the City of Crane. There were downed powerlines at W. 6th Street and Katherine Street. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

The wider storm

There was a weak upper low over east-central New Mexico and a wind shear axis over the western Permian Basin. This shear axis aided in drawing moisture across the area and helped to produce thunderstorms with strong winds. There were weak upper level winds over the area which contributed to slow storm movement and flash flooding.
