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 tornado started approximately 7 miles south-southwest of Wymore, NE, doing damage to trees just west of S 23 Rd between E Walnut Rd and Willow Rd. The tornado continued south-southeastward, damaging the roof of a residence and barn, as well as power poles along Willow Rd. The track then turned more southeast, crossing State Line Rd into Marshall County, KS, between 8th Rd and S 36 Rd where damage to farm outbuildings was noted. The tornado continued southeast and caused damage to power poles along US Highway 77 just south of Bison Rd before lifting shortly thereafter.
