The path drawn at its surveyed width of 250 yards (0.14 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 touched down just west of County Road 26, north of State Highway 25, and continued across the Six Mile Community, before eventually lifting just west of Ashby. This tornado did not cause widespread damage along the whole path, but there was evidence of sporadic building and tree damage along the entire path.

The wider storm

An intense winter storm and passing cold front caused several tornadoes and numerous severe thunderstorms across Central Alabama.

Began near Six Mile (33.0200, -87.0800).
