Clovis has a population of 30,000+ - Very scary storm on radar appeared to go right through the middle of town. Happened just now.

My sister used to live there. I wonder where it tracked?
To: Strategerist
Cannon AFB and few F-16s still there and a few CV-22's possibly.
Hope they got what they have hangared in time.

Seemed to weaken a tad just as it went through Clovis. Would seem to have tracked east of the Air Force Base, more in the downtown area.
To: Strategerist
Thanks for the info.
Prayers for all.
To: Jet Jaguar
From another board relaying info from media there was major tree and structure damage on the east and northeast side of Clovis.

Oh gosh, I used to have relatives who lived there. My Dad lives in Roswell. Wonder if they got bad weather too?

Nothing happened in Roswell at all. It was west of the Dry Line.
However, there is very bad flooding in Carlsbad.

I just talked with a friend in Logan NM. He said half the town was blown away by a twister this afternoon.
the town is dark, but his community, which is just outside of town, still has utilities. they are watching out the window and listening with the weather radio nearby.
Several twisters have moved through in the distance, the last just about 40 minutes ago. He's a freeper named CONCHO.

Logan had 50 houses all over the city that were damaged. That's what they've been saying on KOAT TV. About 30 minutes ago there were a total of three tornadoes on the ground in the Clovis and Portales area.

Spent 4 years of my life in Clovis when stationed at Cannon AFB (1976 - 1980)
Very good memories...praying the town survives this with minimal damage.

Goodness, I better call Dad. My Mom always called when the weather was bad or whatever, but Dad...well, he's a guy and you know how guys are!

So funny to see people from NM! The state is crawling with my relatives. I hope to retire in Cloudcroft, eventually.
