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

A swath of tree damage was found with satellite. A report was also relayed to the Beltrami county EM of trees twisted in every direction with significant road blockage near Gates Corner. A vehicle that got caught in it was abandoned because it would require heavy equipment to clear all the mangled trees. Max wind estimated at 100 mph.

The wider storm
