The path drawn at its surveyed width of 30 yards (0.02 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 EF0 tornado began along Highway 41 north of Wesley Road. Along

this road trees were uprooted facing due north, with some of the

trees on the eastern side of the road uprooted laying due west.

The next location ground survey crew were able to reach was along

Highway 84 east of Repton. Here some more tree uproots occurred.

It's possible the tornado did more damage to the southwest,

however given the intermittent damage path and limited road

network made it difficult to assess. It is possible this tornado

began sooner and/or ended later than the current start and end

points have, and this will be fine-tuned as high-resolution

satellite imagery becomes available.
