The path drawn at its surveyed width of 150 yards (0.09 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 tornado first touched down on the west side of South Tipp-Cowlesville Road where a detached garage had part of its roof lifted and removed, with concentrated tree damage throughout the rest of the property. Some roofing material was carried across South Tipp-Cowlesville Road into adjacent fields, approximately 200 yards downstream. On the east side of South Tipp-Cowlesville Road, a grove of trees sustained some damage with large branches snapped and broken off. The tornado then continued northeast toward Tipp Canal Road, where it likely lifted on the west side of the road in an open field. Here, trees on the west side of the road in the distance clearly had been snapped and broken off near the top.

The damage was consistent with wind speeds of around 70 mph.
