Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
The pattern of a broad upper trough in the south central U.S. continued. This combined with a persistent warm, moist, air mass over the region resulted in yet another afternoon and evening of showers and thunderstorms. Isolated storms became severe producing damaging downburst winds and marginally severe hail. Cloud-to-ground lightning was also an issue.
