The wider storm
Thunderstorms increased in coverage and intensity during the evening hours as more organized activity moved east out of New Mexico and developed into a broken line from I-40 near Endee, NM northeast to around Texline, OK. The northern portion of the line encountered a more favorable environment for strong to severe storms with potential for rotation from near Palo Duro Reservoir to Perryton. Large hail was reported north of Perryton up to the size of ping pong balls which combined with strong winds took out some windows on a farmhouse along with other damage around the property. As this storm moved northeast it created winds estimated 85-90 mph since it took out several power distribution poles from Balko to Elmwood, OK leaving much of Beaver County without power. This storm quickly weakened not long after causing the power loss.
Began near Bryans Corner (36.6200, -100.7700).
