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 near Trotwood Avenue and Old Sunny Lane south of Columbia in Maury County. Here the tornado caused timber damage by uprooting trees. The tornado continued east-southeast across a residential area in Sunnyside where mainly minor timber damage was observed. The tornado continued east-southeast, causing additional minor timber damage as it crossed Campbellsville Pike before dissipating shortly after crossing U.S. Highway 31. Damages are a rough estimate.

The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms moved across Middle Tennessee during the evening hours of March 30, 2025, and into the early morning of March 31, 2025. With ample moisture, instability, and wind shear in place, the stage was set for severe weather. Thunderstorm wind damage was common with several reports of downed trees and other structure damage received. Large hail up to 2 inches in diameter was also reported, especially across Williamson County. This event was also responsible for four tornadoes with the strongest being an EF-2 tornado near Hampshire in Maury County.

Began near Westwood (35.5867, -87.1026).
