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

This very short-lived EF-0 tornado damaged some stands of trees as it moved through portions of eastern Monroe County.

The wider storm

During the evening hours on June 5th, storms move into portions of Buffalo and Trempealeau counties producing large hail and strong winds. Eventually, these storms formed into a line and pushed southeast into portions of La Crosse, Monroe and Juneau Counties bring additional large hail, damaging wind gusts and an EF-0 tornado in eastern Monroe County prior to storms exiting to the southeast.

Began near Dellwood (43.8900, -90.5300).
