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 tornado with estimated peak winds of 85 mph touched down near S 600 W Road just north of the intersection of W 550 S Road and then moved northeast across mainly open farmland. Trees were uprooted, a utility pole was blown down and a farm outbuilding was damaged as the tornado crossed S 500 W Road. The tornado moved through Morocco where a corridor of tree damage occurred. A utility pole was also damaged. The tornado crossed Route 41 where tree limbs were blown down. The tornado continued moving northeast across open farmland where damage was confined to trees and irrigation pivots.
