Damage, injuries and deaths
National Weather Service offices recorded about $5.3 million in property damage from hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes across the US on this storm day (61 events in 4 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 |

| Ochiltree County, TX | 3 | 0 | 0 | $2.8 million |
| Hansford County, TX | 2 | 0 | 0 | $2.5 million |
