Brownfield residents and officials described extensive destruction from a Sunday storm. Cotton and peanuts suffered losses, with estimates uncertain, while Brownfield City Power crews labored into Monday to restore outages. West Bynum, West Austin, Boston and West Canyon faced prolonged interruptions as lines and poles were cleared and rebuilt.
A mile-wide storm path across north central Terry County to the southeast corner caused massive damage. Officials estimate about 54 000 acres of crop land affected with 25 000 to 30 000 acres of cotton severely damaged or destroyed. Evidence of baseball-sized hail and high winds accompanies the loss reported by farmers as power crews work through the night.
