It caused damage to 2,188 homes, some completely destroyed; 9 public facilities were damaged or destroyed; 38 businesses reported total or partial damage. An analysis was conducted and published in July of that same year. This analysis classified the tornado as F2 (high-end) because the destroyed houses were poorly constructed and anchored, as was the case of a house that was displaced by 10 meters (11 yd). Another house was completely obliterated. However, nearby power poles remained partially intact and standing. A large truck was overturned and dragged. The walls of a gymnasium collapsed, although it had no internal walls, only external ones, which prevented classification as F3. A radar, 7 km away (4,3 mi), recorded winds of approximately 84 km/h. This resulted in an estimated wind speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Television reports showed further damage, such as power poles violently twisted, broken, or torn from the ground. The overturned truck may have been thrown, as the owner reported that there was no evidence that the vehicle had been rolled over and dragged. However, this damage is still consistent with a high-end F2. The tornado caused 4 deaths and approximately 140 injuries. It was considered the best-documented tornado in images in Brazil, but the one in Rio Bonito do Iguaçu (Paraná, 2025) possibly has more records.
