Name That Date #13

As I'm trying to revive it, I guess...

April 21, 2007 - Tulia?

April 21, 2007 was my thought initially - but Cactus was hit at almost the same time as Tulia with the cells lined up more north to south. These have an east/west slant. I don't think it's 4/21/207.

Yep, just found radar from the 07 event, definitely not that day. I'm trying to recall other days near Tulia...

Wild guess - March 23, 2007?

EDIT: Now that I look at it, that can't be right. Please excuse my idiocy.

 

[Jason McKittrick]

Perhaps it is the Silverton day, March 28, 2007.

 

[Michael P. Morris]

June 12, 2005 perhaps?

 

[Jim Tang]

So far nobody has gotten it. Hint: this is from a pretty famous TX Panhandle day.

 

[Scott Weberpal]

After that hint, it's gotta be June 2, 1995. Dimmit, Friona, Tulia, etc...

 

[Jim Tang]

Whoops, too much of a giveaway there? Haha, good job. That is correct. You can see the hook near Dimmit at the time of the radar image. It's due west of the Tulia cell.

I dunno that it was too much of a giveaway, but it tripped an old memory. I remember seeing a case study of that event with a radar loop and was amazed at how the Dimmit storm essentially took control of the entire environment around it. It essentially pulled in every storm surrounding it and became an absolute beast. The visible satellite loop is no less amazing. The OFB from the earlier supercell helps trigger the storms, then you can see the cumulus to the south line up into "streets" as they are pulled into the supercell.
