heavy debris as the buildings were destroyed. The city bank was also destroyed, along with the town's
Methodist Church. The tornado threw a 1.5-ton safe a full block away, and the only remnant of the church was the 1.1-ton cast iron bell, which was found nearly 200 feet away. The tornado also tore an iron-frame bridge from its supports and threw it onto an adjacent riverbank. It also destroyed the City Hall, in addition to the adjacent water tower, which caused a deluge of water to be released onto the streets below. The tornado then moved into the east side of New Richmond, where many of the city's working-class residents lived. Almost every home in the area was destroyed, and the neighborhood war left with only scattered debris and empty foundations. Substantial damage to large trees occurred in this area as well, some of which were observed later to be stripped clean of all bark and limbs. Within a period of roughly seven to ten minutes, over half of New Richmond was destroyed.

The only significant surviving structures were the Lumber and Roller Mills located on the banks of the Willow River, the latter of which was narrowly missed by the tornado, the town's public school, and the
Catholic Church, which acted as either makeshift shelters or morgues. Only the extreme northwestern and southeastern portions of the city were spared. The town's electrical plant and water facilities were destroyed, so there was no way to counter the fires that burned through the scattered debris. Many bodies found in the aftermath the tornado were burnt beyond recognition—it was impossible to tell if they died from the tornado or from being trapped and burned alive.

A large number of farms in the area suffered considerable damage, and many families were left homeless. One farmer, Sam Olson, was killed instantly when the tornado leveled his farmstead, leaving his wife and son seriously injured. Moving northeast of Clear Lake, the tornado swept through the logging community of Pineville, where another farmer, Michael Kennetz, was killed when his home was swept away. Several homes and farms in the vicinity of the hamlet of
