A monstrous supercell thunderstorm tore through eastern New Mexico and West Texas, leaving a trail of destruction that no climate activist’s tweet could tame. On Thursday, this beast of a storm churned out 19 tornadoes, as Fox Weather reports. While the left obsesses over carbon footprints, real Americans faced nature’s raw power head-on.
The storm carved an 80-mile path from near Causey, New Mexico, to Lubbock, Texas, flipping mobile homes and shredding roofs. It was one of several storms battering the Southern Plains region on the same day. Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches had been issued, but no amount of government warnings could fully brace folks for what was coming.
Starting in New Mexico, the supercell punched through the atmospheric cap, spawning its first tornado near the state line. Damage there was minimal -- maybe a toppled outhouse or a downed utility line. But don’t let the quiet start fool you; this storm was just warming up.
Crossing into West Texas, the supercell swelled in size and rage, likely unleashing the event’s fiercest tornado. Its path stuck to sparsely populated areas for much of the journey, sparing bigger towns -- until Lubbock loomed in its sights. The National Weather Service slapped on “Particularly Dangerous Situation” warnings, a phrase that cuts through bureaucratic fluff.
“I’ve been watching this storm since I got into work,” said Fox Weather meteorologist Ari Sarsalari, noting its slow crawl toward Lubbock. His ominous “bullseye” comment wasn’t hyperbole; it was a wake-up call the woke weather crowd might’ve missed while preaching green dogma. Real meteorologists, like Sarsalari, focus on facts, not feelings.
By evening, the storm zeroed in on Morton, Texas, before barreling toward Lubbock, a city of over 250,000. Tornadoes multiplied, with residents spotting twin funnels in the Lubbock area. The storm’s wrath didn’t care about your politics -- it hit hard and fast.
As the supercell neared Lubbock, its tornadoes turned rain-wrapped, cloaking their terror in sheets of water. Tracking became a nightmare for forecasters. Yet the storm’s arsenal -- hurricane-force winds, softball-sized hail, and flooding rains -- kept pounding the city.
Texas Tech University students were told to hunker down and avoid windows. Good advice, but no safe space could shield them from nature’s fury. While campus radicals might whine about microaggressions, these kids faced a real macro-threat.
Hail and torrential rain triggered flash flooding, transforming Lubbock’s roads into raging rivers. Traffic cameras caught vehicles slogging through deep water, a stark reminder that no EV mandate can conquer Mother Nature. Search and rescue crews worked late into the night, pulling stranded drivers to safety.
Remarkably, only one injury was reported by Thursday evening, a testament to Texan grit. Several structures in Lubbock took heavy hits, battered by either tornadoes or straight-line winds topping 80 mph. The storm didn’t discriminate -- homes and businesses alike were left in shambles.
Thousands of residents lost power, plunged into darkness by a storm that scoffed at our fragile grid. While elites push unreliable windmills, real folks in Lubbock were left to pick up the pieces. This is what happens when ideology trumps infrastructure.
After ravaging Lubbock, the supercell quit spawning tornadoes but kept hurling softball-sized hail and gusty winds. It trudged eastward, likely sparing Abilene and staying north of Interstate 20. The worst, it seemed, was over -- but the scars remained.
The storm’s rampage exposed the limits of progressive pipe dreams about controlling the climate. No amount of net-zero nonsense can stop a supercell from doing what it’s done for millennia. Texans, as always, will rebuild stronger, without needing a lecture from D.C.
Emergency managers and rescue crews proved their worth, working tirelessly to save lives and restore order. Their no-nonsense response is a model for a nation tired of bureaucratic bloat. Competence, not ideology, gets results in a crisis.
This supercell’s path of destruction is a humbling reminder: Nature bows to no one. While the left spins tales of a tameable planet, conservatives know better -- respect the Creator’s power and prepare accordingly. Lubbock’s recovery will show the world what real resilience looks like.
