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

Storm survey revealed a tornado developed south of Mt. View just

east of AR State Hwy 9 west of Stewart Road northwest of the

southeast crossing Hanover and Luber Roads. The tornado then

Misenheimer and Waco Roads, dropping off the plateau crossing AR

State Hwy 5 west of Arbana. The tornado then crossed Iron

Pleasant Grove community. Damage to barns and outbuildings was

noted, along with many trees blown down. This tornado was rated
