The path drawn at its surveyed width of 150 yards (0.09 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

Tornadic damage was first observed near Hamilton Eaton Road, just north of New Miami, Ohio and traveled northeast. The tornado caused substantial roof and siding damage to several mobile homes and moved at least two others from their foundation. There were also numerous trees either uprooted or with their tops snapped through this area. The tornado then continued along Trenton Road and Hawkins Road, where additional tree damage was noted. From there, the tornado crossed Wayne Madison Road, where several power poles were snapped.

Additional damage to outbuildings was noted along Woodsdale Road. The tornado then moved across the Great Miami River and caused damage to several homes in a subdivision just east of Hamilton Middletown Road. Homes on and near Hailey Lane, Michelle Lane, and Hollybrook Drive were also damaged with peeled off shingles and flashing, along with portions of roof removal. Numerous trees were also downed in this area. The damage after this subdivision became much more sporadic in nature so the tornado likely dissipated beyond this point.
