What EF1 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF1 is moderate damage: roofs badly stripped, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, windows broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 86–110 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.

The wider storm

A cold front moved through the combined Panhandles. This combined with increased wind shear, instability and moisture to bring severe storms to the southern portions of the Texas Panhandle. Several tornadoes occurred during the late night into early morning hours of April 25th to 26th. Large hail and areas of flooding also occurred as storms continue to move over the same locations.
