The path drawn at its surveyed width of 25 yards (0.01 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.

The tornado developed north of Kinde Road, along the north edge of a line of trees,

then continued to move east crossing Huron City Road and dissipating in a nearby field. Tornado damage was mainly confined to trees and nearby crops. Estimated peak winds were up to 75 mph.
