Several homes in the path of the storm suffered broken windows and some roof damage. In addition, three to four inches of rain was recorded in the area and this led to some local flooding. The wheat crop in this area was reported as "totally destroyed, mowing it down to six inches in height". The other report of large hail came from the city of Alliance.
