What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm moved across Glasscock County and produced a 64 mph wind gust.

The wider storm

An area of high pressure was over West Texas. There were upper level disturbances, associated with an upper trough to the west, that moved over the region. Instability and moisture were fairly high. A lack of moisture at the surface allowed for the potential for strong, damaging winds to develop within storms. These conditions resulted in storms that produced strong, damaging winds and hail across portions of the Permian Basin.

Began near St Lawrence (31.6988, -101.5240).
