Watch: Storm chaser provides wild drive through Texas amid windshield-shattering hail, walls of dust
TURKEY, Texas – A storm chaser has captured his harrowing drive through the Texas Panhandle, battling supercells, windshield-shattering hail and blinding walls of dust.
Adam Cuker was traveling south through the area on Sunday as severe storms hit parts of the state.
His footage takes viewers on a journey across the panhandle, revealing dark skies above Turkey, churning clouds over Spur and hail relentlessly pounding Claude. He also documented a dust storm sweeping through Rotan, a dramatic supercell dominating Jayton, and ultimately, dust clouds enveloping both Rotan and Roby.
Texas Slammed By Storms Producing 100-Mph Wind Gusts, Grapefruit-sized Hail Knocking Out Power To Thousands
Cuker said the hail not only damaged his windshield but also broke one of his taillights.
A Level 4 out of 5 severe storm threat was in place for parts of Texas and Oklahoma on Sunday.
The first "Particularly Dangerous Situation" (PDS) Severe Thunderstorm Watch was issued for parts of each state for the first time since May 19, 2024. A PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch is extremely rare, with only 25 occurrences since 2006. This particular PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch was warning of 105-plus mph winds and hail greater than 5 inches.
A second Particularly Dangerous Situation Severe Thunderstorm Watch was issued later Sunday, which included the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
