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

A tornado touched down north of the junction of 900th Street and 878th Street about 3 miles northwest of Mount Pulaski at 11:19pm CDT. The tornado caused extensive tree damage as it tracked eastward along 900th Street before curving to the southeast and causing additional tree damage as it crossed IL-54. It then tracked into northwestern Macon County along 2400th Avenue between West Hampshire Road and West School Road at 11:32pm CDT.

The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms developed ahead of an approaching cold front during the evening of June 10th. Scattered wind damage was observed along and north of the I-72 corridor, with the most concentrated damage focusing across portions of Menard, Logan, Sangamon, and Macon counties where the cells interacted with an existing outflow boundary from earlier storms. Six tornadoes touched down within this corridor, including an EF-1 tornado that tracked across Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport and the north side of Springfield.

Began near Chestervale (40.0500, -89.3100).
