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.

A tornado continued from southeastern Campbell County into southwestern Weston County. It blew down some trees along a ridge, a tree at a residence, and some windbreak panels and ripped off part of a house roof. The width of the tornado through Weston County was estimated.
