The path drawn at its surveyed width of 100 yards (0.06 mi) — zoom in and the swath grows to true scale. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF1 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF1 is moderate damage: roofs badly stripped, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, windows broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 86–110 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.

What the National Weather Service wrote

The initial tornado damage consisted of uprooted trees and damaged fences, just south of the intersection of Oriskany Drive and Almahurst Lane. Damage continued along the lake shore of the community lake. The tornado intensified as it crossed Belle Meade Farms Drive and eventually Three Chimneys Lane, where minor roof and siding damage occurred along with dozens of snapped and uprooted trees. The tornado then crossed Wards Corner Road where it snapped a few dozen hardwood trees and caused more fence and minor roof damage. Additional damage was found along Murle Lane,

Ironwood Drive, and Paxton Woods Drive.

Additional damage extended all the way to State Route 28, but this was determined to be from straight line winds. Damage noted in this stretch included hundreds of downed trees and some minor property damage, including siding loss to a home.
