High ProbWind values with severe reports!!

The storm cluster across N TX began to gust out late in the afternoon. Line motion was ~43kt as the storms surged across Montague county just south of the Red River. There was a report of wind damage in Texas (power poles blown down) and in Oklahoma (estimated 60-70 mph winds) associated with the storm cluster.  ProbWind was as high as it has been the past couple of days in the 92-95% range during this time. Of note, the Flash Rate was very high with the identified object, at times nearing 150 fl/min and the AzShear was ‘strong’. This combined with the environmental parameters helped increase the wind probs throughout the life of this cluster as it moved ENE. ProbWind was equally high with other objects to the northeast and southwest of the featured storms yet no wind reports were received from them. Interestingly though, ProbTor was ~30% with the Montague county object at this time helping draw attention to it.
