The storm's final death toll was 26 or 31; victims ranged in age from 9 months to 88 years of age. Many of the victims were found in their homes, where they had been killed by flying debris or structural collapse. One boy lost his life when he was sucked out of the car he was riding in, and an entire family of five died when their house was lifted from its foundation, hurled over 200 yards, and slammed into a field. However, the family's fatalities were not recorded by Lubbock, meaning that the death toll could have been as high as 31. Another five hundred people were injured.
