Drone video, photos show damage from tornadoes in Lubbock, Texas
At least 20 tornadoes ripped through New Mexico into the Texas border town of Lubbock, leaving more than 10,000 residents in West Texas without power, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, part of the USA TODAY network, reported Thursday night.
Just after noon local time on Friday, June 6, the Lubbock Power and Light outage map reported more than 40 active outages amid flash floods and property damage.
The National Weather Service (NWS) reported multiple tornadoes hit the area late on Thursday, resulting in flooding and wind damage focused in Hockley and Lubbock counties. As residents attempted to clean up the damage Friday morning, NWS warned of another round of severe thunderstorms in the evening with the possibility for wind gusts up to 90 mph, hail up to softball size, localized flash flooding, and tornadoes.
Photos and videos coming out of the Western Texas county show flooding, flipped structures and destroyed roofs. See drone footage of the aftermath in the video above.
