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 tornado developed near County Road 3210 about 4 miles east-southeast of Katie, and moved north-northeast. Near the beginning of the path, emergence management officials reported the east-facing garage door of a home was damaged and significant tree damage.
