The path drawn at its surveyed width of 350 yards (0.20 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

The tornado developed near Reed Road and State Route 72, where a few power poles were knocked down. Two barns on Rhonemus Road had their roofs removed, and a silo was also destroyed. On Hornbeam Road, one barn was destroyed, and multiple trees were snapped. Some roof and gutter damage was also observed on a single family home. Debris was thrown in multiple directions in the field directly east of Hornbeam Road. Farther east, power poles were downed on State Route 729.
