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 damage survey confirmed an EF0 tornado touched down east of CR N 25 W, south of Pleasant Hill Rd where an outbuilding in a wooded area was flipped from north to south against a tree and some debris thrown to the southwest. The tornado reached peak intensity at the intersection of Meridian and Pleasant Hill Rd where one of two older barns suffered extensive damage. The majority of the barn remained at the site, but roof and siding material was visible across fields and in trees into Fulton county. Four of eight center pivot spans were flipped near the damaged barn. The tornado crossed S 1000 E, E 350 S and S 1075 E before dissipating. Damage in Fulton county was limited to mainly tree damage or a few trees onto homes. The maximum estimated winds are around 85 mph, associated with the barn damage with a maximum width of 100 yards.
