A line of severe storms produced multiple tornadoes Wednesday evening on the Rolling Plains of West Texas, including one that killed at least three people and caused significant damage around the Matador community.
The storms also produced softball-size hail and wind gusts topping 100 mph in other communities including Jayton, which also was under a tornado warning as the line moved southeast after the sun set Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service in Lubbock.
There were widespread power outages across the Rolling Plains, including more than 700 customers without power in the Jayton area, according to South Plains Electric Cooperative. But the worst of the damage appeared to be in the Motley County community of Matador – a town of about 570 people 70 miles northeast of Lubbock.
