Damage, injuries and deaths
National Weather Service offices recorded about $275,000 in property damage from hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes across the US on this storm day (33 events in 9 states). Before 1996 the database holds only tornado, hail and wind events, and damage was often entered as a range, so treat these figures as rough. Injuries and deaths are those the events caused directly.
| County | Events | Injuries | Deaths | Property damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence County, AL | 1 | 0 | 0 | $250,000 |
| Floyd County, GA | 1 | 0 | 0 | $25,000 |
