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

The tornado developed in West Chester, near the intersection of Tylersville Road and Lady Anne Drive, where some trees were downed and minor house damage occurred. From here, the tornado traveled east across Interstate 75, causing sporadic tree damage before moving across VOA Park. In the park, an outbuilding was toppled and several soccer goals were scattered throughout the grounds. The tornado then crossed Butler Warren Road and entered Warren County at 1953EST, between Tyler Court and Clover Drive. The tornado continued east across Warren County before ending just west of Morrow at 2006EST.
