The path drawn at its surveyed width of 30 yards (0.02 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

Available high resolution satellite imagery revealed a brief

EF0 tornado occurred west of Lucedale just off of Country Hill

Road. This tornado likely began further west with the start point

being approximated based on radar data showing a tornado debris

signature beginning in the vicinity of the ponds west of Country

Hill Road. The tornado remained solely within forest causing

minor tree damage.
