The path drawn at its surveyed width of 50 yards (0.03 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

A survey of ground and aerial data revealed a weak, disorganized, tornado touched down between two homes on E CR 300 S where a TV tower was bent over, minor shingle and fence damage was noted with the debris suggesting a weak circulation. This feature moved northeast into a wooded area where tree damage was initially very limited, but then uprooted or snapped roughly 20 shallow-rooted trees with weak convergence noted. The tornado moved into an open field and deposited one piece of the fence from the touchdown location as it dissipated before reaching S CR 150 E.

The wider storm
