The swath of damage ranged from about 0.25–0.5 mi (0.40–0.80 km) wide, spanning two to six city blocks at a time. Across the roughly 2,000-block area impacted by the tornado, 287 homes were destroyed, 650 were heavily damaged, and 787 were moderately damaged; another 53 apartment buildings sustained damage. The damage rendered thousands of people homeless. The Nebraska governor's office estimated a damage toll of $ 150–200 million (1975 USD; equivalent to $ 0.8–1.1 billion in 2023), making the tornado the costliest tornado in U.S. history and the costliest natural disaster in Nebraska history at the time. Damage estimates ranged as high as $ 500 million (equivalent to $ 2.8 billion in 2023). Researcher
