The path drawn at its surveyed width of 75 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

This tornado developed in rural areas of Clark County, WI between Christie and Loyal. As the tornado moved northeast, it damaged multiple trees and removed a portion of the roof from a farm building.

The wider storm

During the afternoon hours on May 15th, a developing complex of embedded supercell thunderstorms moved eastward into western Wisconsin. As they continued to intensify, they resulted in widespread hail of up to two inches in diameter across much of western Wisconsin and four tornadoes in Clark County. The strongest of these tornadoes was an EF-2 near Colby, Wisconsin where numerous power poles were downed and one home sustained significant damage to its roof and attached garage.
