The path drawn at its surveyed width of 75 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.

Several trees were snapped along SR 155 Southwest of Linden, Texas. Powerlines were downed in that area as well. Several small trees and large branches were downed along CR 1574 as well. Maximum winds are estimated at 60-65 mph.
