NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. 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

The tornado first touched down just west of Orchard Dr, north of Howells

Ferry Rd. It continued northeast and moved across the Princeton Woods

subdivision. After that it crossed Moffett Rd near University Ave and

came to an end. No damage was noted further east toward N University Blvd.

There were numerous large branches downed with a few uprooted softwood trees

along the path. Two homes had trees or large branches on their roofs.
