In all, the tornado significantly damaged or destroyed at least 638 homes and 40 businesses along its path, and hundreds of trees and power poles were snapped. Thirty-three people were injured, six severely; however, no fatalities took place. Two public schools— Schaumburg Elementary and Einstein Charter School—both sustained some damage to buildings and property, with collective damage reaching $1.7 million. NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility suffered more than $1 million in damage. At the time, it was the strongest tornado to strike the New Orleans metropolitan area. However, it would be surpassed on March 22, 2022 by a high-end EF3 tornado, which killed one person and injured multiple others as it caused considerable damage in Arabi.
