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.
Northwest flow aloft continued across the southeast U.S. as a broad subtropical ridge persisted from the southwest U.S. into the south central U.S. A series of disturbances continued to track from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region toward the southeast U.S. These disturbances combined with ample low-level moisture and instability continued the daily threat of convection, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. A few thunderstorms became strong and one briefly became severe in Heard county producing damaging downburst winds.
