Damage, injuries and deaths
National Weather Service offices recorded about $28.5 million in property damage, 35 injuries and 2 deaths from hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes across the US on this storm day (80 events in 12 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.

NWS Tornado Damage Surveys for June 13, 1976
National Weather Service survey teams mapped 3 tornado paths from this storm day (2 EF0, 1 EFU), 9 miles in all. The map above draws each surveyed path as the NWS mapped it, colored by the EF rating of each stretch, in place of the straight start-to-end line.
| Rating | Peak wind | Path length | Max width | Deaths / injuries | On the ground | Surveyed by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EF0 | 170 mph | 8.6 mi | 800 yd | 23 / 2 | 22:18–23:20 UTC | NWS Chicago |
| EF0 | 105 mph | 0.3 mi | 125 yd | 0 / 0 | 22:31–22:33 UTC | NWS Chicago |
| EFU | – | 0.2 mi | 250 yd | 0 / 0 | 22:30–22:32 UTC | NWS Chicago |
Source: NOAA National Weather Service Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT): the tornado paths and EF-rating zones NWS survey teams mapped after each storm. Survey data are preliminary and can be revised; NOAA's official record is Storm Data (NCEI). Paths are simplified to about 30 m. Times are when the tornado was on the ground, in UTC.
