The path drawn at its surveyed width of 30 yards (0.02 mi) — zoom in and the swath grows to true scale. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

A tornado touched down northwest of Tuttle, north of State Highway 37 and west of County Road 2890. The tornado moved northeast and then east causing roof damage to an outbuilding and tree damage near and south of Silver City Ridge Road before dissipating east of Richland Road.
