The path drawn at its surveyed width of 10 yards (0.01 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.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A tornado briefly touched down in a field between Mamou and Vidrine. No damage was reported.

The wider storm

A weak cold front drifted into the region while a series of upper disturbances moved across the region. This produced multiple rounds of mainly afternoon storms, some of which became severe.

Began near Vidrine (30.6800, -92.4000).
