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

Fencing, backyard furniture, and roofing was damaged as a brief tornado touched down near the recreation center. One person reported seeing a funnel cloud. One house had roof damage.

The wider storm

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