The path drawn at its surveyed width of 50 yards (0.03 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 waterspout formed over Lake Wier and caused minor wind damage.

The wider storm

A few strong to isolated severe storms impacted NE FL as both sea breeze fronts converged near the US 301 corridor late in the afternoon and early evening over a moist and unstable airmass.
