The path drawn at its surveyed width of 10 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.

What the National Weather Service wrote

The Sublette County emergency manager reported a landspout east of Marbleton. The landspout remained over open country and caused no known damage.

The wider storm

The tornado remained over open ground and produced no known damage. A pair of cold air funnels formed near Natrona in western Natrona County, but there was no evidence of a circulation at the ground.
