The path drawn at its surveyed width of 30 yards (0.02 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 brief and weak EF0 tornado moved east-northeast, causing roof damage to a church while throwing debris and playground equipment that was located west of the church further west. Peak winds estimated at 80 mph.

The wider storm

During the afternoon and evening hours of March 30th thunderstorms developed in warm and unstable air well ahead of an approaching cold front. These storms produced damaging winds and hail up to golf ball size across much of central Indiana. A weak EF-0 tornado impacted Monroe County, although main damage was associated with the straight line winds and large hail. Over 30,000 power outages occurred across central Indiana through the event.

Began near Diamond (39.0843, -86.5392).
