The path drawn at its surveyed width of 40 yards (0.02 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

A tornado touched down near Highway 51 and caused damage in the Quail Run subdivision. A mobile home was moved from its underpinning and had its windows blown out, and two residential roofs, sheds, and a trampoline were damaged two miles north of Highway 380 near the Wise/Denton County line. Several people suffered minor injuries.

The wider storm

An upper low remained over the area triggering several rounds of showers and thunderstorms. A very moist environment encouraged flash flooding.
