The path drawn at its surveyed width of 60 yards (0.03 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

This brief weak tornado touched down just west of Stinson Creek Road and moved east where it crossed Highway 373 before dissipating. Minor tree damage was noted along Stinson Road with the radar showing a weak debris signature. As it crossed Highway 373, a few trees were uprooted with some large limbs broken in trees. One large limb was on a home.

The wider storm

A line of severe storms pushed across the region and produced damaging wind gusts that downed trees and power lines, and damaged several structures during the early morning hours of the 31st. Ahead of the storms, strong gradient winds also produced damage to a similar degree.

Began near Wells (33.5900, -88.4600).
