The path drawn at its surveyed width of 70 yards (0.04 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 EF-0 tornado had maximum estimated winds of 85 mph and a path of around 4.25 miles. Tornado damage began near and north of 100th Street just east of

where significant tree damage occurred. The tornado then impacted

mainly open fields before crossing Morse Lake Ave SE and Bergy Ave

SE before lifting.
