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

An EF-0 tornado touched down near the northwestern side of the Mannsdale Upper Elementary campus and then moved northeast and produced intermittent, mostly tree damage in a path that crossed MS Highway 463, Mannsdale Road, and then residential areas along Livingston Drive. The maximum estimated winds were 85 mph. The tornado dissipated near Bidon Drive.
