Damage, injuries and deaths
National Weather Service offices recorded about $16.1 million in property damage, 109 injuries and 15 deaths from hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes across the US on this storm day (29 events in 6 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 |
