The path drawn at its surveyed width of 20 yards (0.01 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

Trained spotters provided video of a tornado touching down just north of Stoy, near the intersection of IL-33 and North 600th Street. They provided images of damage to tree branches that were several inches in diameter.

The wider storm

Scattered thunderstorms developed along an outflow boundary and north of a warm front during the afternoon of June 27th. Storms were most numerous south of I-70. One brief tornado touched down in Crawford County while several funnel clouds occurred further north along the outflow boundary. Pockets of heavy rain led to a few flash flood reports, with the most significant in Charleston in Coles County.

Began near Stoy (39.0000, -87.8300).
