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

Drone footage provided by Cass County Emergency Management confirmed an EF-1 tornado occurred within a line of severe thunderstorms across northeast Cass County. The tornado began just south of County Road 325 N between County Road 400 E and 450 E where the roof of a barn was damaged. The tornado then tracked northeast and produced noticeable scouring of crops. The tornado destroyed a 40ft pole barn on County Road 375 N and caused additional damage to the roofs of barns along County Road 500 E. The tornado dissipated by County Road 425 N where some minor tree damage was observed.

The wider storm

A squall line raced through northern Indiana and spawned numerous tornadoes. Most tornadoes were narrow and lasted less then 10 minutes. Additional areas of straight line wind damage were noted as well.
