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

This tornado produced minor shingle damage to a home near Boyd and Sterling street on the north side of Borger along with large tree branches down. It is unclear where the tornado initially began, but there was video to suggest it touched down somewhere

over the Phillips Country Club. Additional video indicates it then moved into a small industrial site north of the homes where it dissipated. The estimated maximum wind speed was 80mph.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front on the afternoon of June 8th and rapidly became severe. These thunderstorms gradually developed into disorganized lines of thunderstorms through the late afternoon and evening, while a discrete supercell in the western Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles produced 4 tornadoes. Otherwise, these thunderstorms produced wind gusts up to 80 mph, hail up to 2.25 inches in diameter, and heavy rain that led to localized flash flooding.

Began near Hutchinson Co Arpt (35.6878, -101.4027).
