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 in a field northwest of the intersection of S 500 W Road and W 1075 S Road in Washington Township. The tornado moved northeast causing tree damage. As it moved through Ade, roofing material was blown off of a barn. The tornado crossed Route 41 and snapped four utility poles along W 800 S Road, just east of S 100 W Road. As the tornado crossed S 50 W Road, a personal weather station measured a wind gust to 85 mph. A house suffered minor shingle damage and a barn lost a quarter of its roofing material and a wall of the barn partially collapsed. A farm outbuilding was destroyed along S 50 E Road, south of E 700 S Road. A utility pole was snapped near the intersection of E 700 S Road and S 150 E Road. A grain bin was destroyed just south of E 600 S Road near Battleday Ditch. The grain bin was blown into another building causing significant damage. Tree damage continued along the entire path of the tornado including snapped trees northwest of the intersection of E 600 S Road and S 400 E Road.
