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

This tornado touched down north of Zumbro Falls and ripped the roof off a mobile home residence, also damaging nearby and heavily damaging a barn on 363rd Avenue. It continued for another 1.5 miles northeast across mostly rural areas and causing sporadic tree damage before dissipating.
