The path drawn at its surveyed width of 75 yards (0.04 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 touched down along Champagne Ave, causing minor

shingle damage to several homes. As it crossed a culdesac at

Champagne Ave, a metal awning was destroyed, and an RV was

overturned. The tornado continued to the north, strengthening as

it neared Village Parkway. An RV was lifted and tossed

approximately 50 yards to the west, and several more homes

sustained minor shingle damage. The tornado lifted near the

intersection of Village Parkway and Marseille Drive. Special

thanks to Santa Rosa County Public Safety for their assistance

with this survey.
