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.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Multiple spotters reported a tornado.

A thunderstorm approached the ridges just east of Laramie,

producing a funnel cloud near I-80 and ultimately a tornado.

The tornado produced a swath of pine tree damage near

Pilot Hill, including uprooted and snapped trees. The heaviest

damage occurred along the Pilot Hill connector trail. Photos of

damage estimate the maximum path width of nearly one-quarter mile,

while radar and storm reports were also used for path length.
