NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. 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 confirmed brief tornado overturned a pivot on CR 215 approximately 8 miles SSE of Albin.

The wider storm

A long-lived supercell thunderstorm developed over the higher terrain of the central Laramie Range in far northwestern Laramie County near the Platte County late in the afternoon on 6/26. This thunderstorm quickly became severe as it tracked to the east-southeast across northern and eastern Laramie County through the early to mid evening hours, before exiting into western Nebraska. Multiple tornadoes were reported over rural eastern Laramie County, with an official NWS damage survey confirming two EF-1 tornadoes to the west and southwest of Albin, and an EF-0 tornado 8 miles ESE of Albin. In addition to the tornadoes, this storm also produced up to baseball sized hail near Gun Barrel. Additional isolated severe storms occurred over Converse County later in the evening.
