The path drawn at its surveyed width of 130 yards (0.07 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 developed just south of the Muskogee Turnpike, east of S 225th East Avenue. It moved northeast across a neighborhood west of S 241st East Avenue, and then into the southern portion of Forest Ridge. The tornado uprooted a few trees, damaged the roofs of several homes, snapped large tree limbs, and blew down large sections of privacy fences. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 80 to 85 mph.

The wider storm

Severe thunderstorms developed into eastern Oklahoma during the late afternoon of the 6th, ahead of a surface dry line, and moved across the area through the evening hours. The atmosphere had become strongly unstable across eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon east of the dry line. This instability, combined with very strong low-level and deep-layer wind shear across the region, resulted in the evolution of several long-lived supercell thunderstorms. These supercells produced eleven tornadoes, a couple of which were strong and damaging, large hail up to quarter size, damaging wind gusts, and localized flash flooding.

Began near Oneta (36.0370, -95.7210).
