The majority of the towns were destroyed, with 95 percent of residents left homeless. The synoptic set up of these factors was typical of March or April rather than mid-winter. At an unknown point along the path, the tornado sucked up nearly all the water in a large shallow dam and deposited it on nearby hills.[39]. The F2 tornado damaged or destroyed 300 structures, including the Delta Center and the city's capitol building.
Reports said 150 homes were damaged, and hail affected almost everyone in the town. Ahead of this front, a strong low level jet formed, bringing a surge of warm, moist air from the Gulf northward.
