The path drawn at its surveyed width of 550 yards (0.31 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 traveled near the Union Pacific Railroad line, north of Kibler Road and west of Shibley Road. The tornado snapped large limbs from some trees, and produced minor damage to the roofs of some homes. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 80 to 85 mph.

The wider storm

Strong to severe thunderstorms developed during the evening of the 5th over southeast Colorado, southwest Kansas, and the western Oklahoma Panhandle. The storms moved southeast across Oklahoma through the early morning hours of the 6th, evolving into a well-organized squall line by the time they moved into northwestern Arkansas. The line of strong to severe thunderstorms produced several tornadoes and damaging wind across portions of northwest Arkansas.

Began near Shibley (35.4410, -94.3135).
