What EF1 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF1 is moderate damage: roofs badly stripped, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, windows broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 86–110 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-1 tornado touched down northwest of McEwen in northeast Humphreys County. This tornado began in a wooded area south of E Richland Creek Road, causing timber damage. The tornado impacted a home on Brown Hollow Road, causing roof damage and snapping nearby trees. The tornado then continued east, causing more timber damage on Hatcher Hollow Road, and then dissipated along Smith Road. Damages are a rough estimate.
