PORTIONS OF DAWSON COUNTY sustained severe wind damage Thursday as a severe thunderstorm with straightline winds clocked at 90 mph formed just southwest of Lexington around 1:30 p.m. The National Weather Service later dubbed the event a “Haboob,” as it traveled 300 miles across the rest of the state and into portions of South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. Among the casualties were multiple center pivots, especially in the area northeast of Lexington. Power outages impacted about 800 residences in Lexington and rural areas, as well as an outage in Overton due to downed power lines and trees pulling down line connectors to homes. Structural damage also occurred and multiple vehicles were damaged by falling trees and limbs or blowing debris. TRIBUNE photos/ Barb Bierman Batie
