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 brief tornado touched down along Highway 97 to the south of Capps Creek. The intermittent tornado path tracked to the east-northeast before lifting just west of Highway 37, between Monett and Purdy. Several uprooted trees and large branches snapped along the path. Walls collapsed on two farm outbuildings, with sheet metal tossed over 300 yards.
