The path drawn at its surveyed width of 50 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

The first evidence of this tornado occurred on Johnson Road east of Folk Ream Road, where several large trees had branches snapped off and multiple smaller trees were snapped along their trunks. The tornado continued northeast, where it caused significant damage to corn fields along and east of Shrine Road. The tornado is believed to have dissipated east of Shrine Road.

The wider storm

A low pressure system moved through the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region, lifting a warm front through the area, which brought an influx of moisture and warmth. Showers and thunderstorms developed, causing instances of flooding and severe weather.

Began near North Hampton (39.9749, -83.9220).
