The path drawn at its surveyed width of 50 yards (0.03 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 brief tornado with peak winds of 80 mph touched down just northeast of the intersection of Watson Road and Keslinger Road where a large portion of a south facing roof of a barn was peeled up with debris blown to the northeast. Several small trees were also snapped nearby. The tornado continued northeast where it snapped willow trees and peeled off the roof of a large pole barn. The tornado then ended near Route 38, just west of Meredith Road.

A line of severe thunderstorms that would eventually become a derecho, produced widespread wind damage across much of northeast Illinois during the afternoon of June 10th. Two brief tornadoes also occurred.
