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

The EF0 tornado in Dinwiddie county was confirmed partially via drone footage from a storm chaser positioned along Route 40 as the storm tracked north. The video showed a funnel reaching the ground and a brief period of debris just north of Route 40. NWS storm survey found a snapped cedar tree and broken limbs along Ridge Road just south

of Route 40. Much of the area is highly wooded and inaccessible. Damage was all very light with winds estimated around 50 to 55 mph.

The wider storm

A combination of Tropical Depression Nicole and the approach of a cold front caused scattered severe thunderstorms which produced damaging winds and two tornadoes across portions of central and south central Virginia.
