The path drawn at its surveyed width of 65 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

An EF-0 tornado briefly touched down and remained on the ground for about 1.25 miles, resulting in removal of a large portion of a barn roof, roof damage to a home, and notable damage to a number of trees. The tornado was rated EF-0 with a path length of 1.25 miles and a maximum path width of 65 yards.

The wider storm

Ample instability paired with 50 kts of effective shear created a favorable environment for severe weather during the afternoon on June 7th. Convection that did develop came in the form of supercells, two of which produced tornadoes in southeast Missouri.

Began near Libertyville (37.7087, -90.3118).
