The path drawn at its surveyed width of 75 yards (0.04 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 weak tornado formed just south of Maddox Road, just to the north of the Little Rock Air Force Base, knocking down several large limbs to the west. This tornado continued northeast towards the intersection of McKenzie Road and West Republican Road, knocking down several more limbs. The tornado lifted just north of Peters Road where more limbs were blown down. This tornado was rated EF0, with maximum estimated winds of 85 mph.

The wider storm

A stationary front across the Mid-West portion of the CONUS led to a ample warm sector with plenty of moisture and warm air streaming into the Natural State which led to multiple days of severe weather which included tornadoes, wind damage, and several instances of flash flooding across the state as Arkansas saw several days of moderate to heavy rainfall.

Began near (lrf)little Rock Afb (34.9294, -92.1315).
