The path drawn at its surveyed width of 150 yards (0.09 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

A combination of radar and Sentinel-2 satellite data concluded that an EF0 tornado occurred about 1.5 miles east of Junction Ferry. Satellite data depicted intermittent patches of tree damage in a confined path from County Road P-235 to just east of State Highway 106. Most of the path width ranged from 75 to 125 yards, but at its widest point, the tornado's damage path was measured to be 150 yards in width. The damage path length was 3.54 miles.

The wider storm

A line of severe storms, proceeded by isolated supercells produced significant severe weather as an intense system swept across the Ozarks on Monday, April 27th. A potent line of storms brought immense straight-line winds, very large hail and several tornadoes. High winds, up to 80mph, snapped large tree branches, downed power lines, and caused considerable structural damage to mobile homes and roofs.

Began near Gang (37.1900, -91.2400).
