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

The tornado touched down in rural southwest Dallam County and it destroyed a barn south of FM 1727. The estimated maximum wind speed was 95mph.

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 Ware (36.0813, -102.8165).
