NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. 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 National Weather Service storm servey revealed that an EF-0 tornado touched down on the southwest corner of Lamar Lake. Damage to several trees occurred and wind speeds were estimated at 80 mph.

The wider storm

Several episodes of heavy rain occurred during the period from June 10th through the morning of the 12th over mainly sections of southwest Missouri. The Spring River Basin was impacted the most causing significant flooding along the river. A USGS DCP rain guage in Waco measured nearly 12 inches in a 24 hour period from the 11th into the 12th. A few homes were flooded near the intersection of the Spring River and Highway 171.

Began near Lamar (37.4900, -94.2800).
