NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. 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 spin-up touched down and produced EF0 damage to a

homestead 7 miles north of Mission. A mobile home lost all of its

roof and its north facing wall while the main home on the property

suffered major roof damage with most of the contents from the home

thrown back to the west. Other outbuildings on the property

suffered minor damage.
