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 tornado formed west of US Highway 148 at its intersection with Puddin Valley Road, in northern Jack County. This tornado tracked southeastward through open country, producing scattered tree damage and light structural damage to one residence. The tornado dissipated shortly after crossing Post Oak Road. The damage was consistent with high-end EF-0 windspeeds of 75-80 mph.

The wider storm

From April 24 to April 27, daily thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon and evening, triggered by a dryline and a meandering frontal boundary. These long-lasting supercells were fueled by a highly unstable and sheared environment, resulting in several tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large hail. Two fatalities occurred on April 25th.

Began near Postoak (33.4112, -98.2002).
