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 EF-1 tornado began south of Mason Ferry Rd just south of

McDavid Rd. The start point was difficult to determine as the end

point of another tornado and the start point of this tornado were

close in proximity to each other. However, convergence patterns

and radar analysis did suggest that these were indeed two

separate tornadoes rather than one tornado. The tornado snapped a

couple of softwood trunks and continued sporadically uprooting

trees as it approached Brothers Lake Club Rd where it reached

peak intensity of 90 mph near and around Brothers Lake Club Rd.

The tornado then crosses Mason Ferry Rd and tracked into the

forest before crossing Alabama 217 and finishing near Cleborne

Rd.
