Tornado. Initial damage to a few power poles occurred as the tornado touched down at the intersection of 85th Street and Western Avenue in far southern portions of the Sioux Falls metro area. The tornado tracked northeast for a quarter mile causing tree damage in a residential area before turning more northerly. The tornadic path was evident by scouring vegetation while moving through a wetland area, tossing a trampoline, and causing tree damage to adjacent residences. As the tornado entered a residential area on the north end of the wetlands, more significant damage occurred to several single family residences, with loss of significant sections of roofs and walls, as well as numerous uprooted large trees. At this point, the tornado turned northeast for the last quarter mile of its path, moving along La Quinta Street. Two homes incurred more substantial damage with loss of exterior walls. The tornado lifted before reaching Venita Avenue. Average path width was estimated at 40 yards. Property damage costs are rough estimates.

Winter Storm. Ice accumulation and near blizzard conditions led to a shutdown of government offices and schools, and travel was not recommended due to the extremely hazardous conditions. A period of freezing rain, sleet and snow resulted in ice accumulations starting the afternoon of April 10 through early April 11 of one-quarter to one-half inch. As winds increased and gusted as high as 59 mph at Sioux Falls, scattered power outages resulted as power transmission lines were downed. Up to 10,000 customers around Sioux Falls were without power at times between the evening of April 10 and April 12, as well as the communities of Harrisburg, Lennox, Tea, Canton, Fairview, Beresford and Worthing. Property damage costs include damage to utilities. ||Storm-total snowfall from 1 to 6 inches occurred, with 5.5 inches at Canton and southern Sioux Falls.
