LUBBOCK, Texas -- Severe weather struck parts of the South Plains on Tuesday evening. Along with thunderstorms across the region, a tornado was reported in Dickens County.

KLBK Chief Meteorologist Jacob Riley called it a "potentially significant tornado."

The Dickens County Sheriff's Office said reports of injuries were not immediately available. DCSO said there was damage but could not provide specifics Tuesday night. EverythingLubbock.com had a crew heading to Dickens to gather more information.
