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 weak tornado (EF0) developed about 1.3 miles southwest of Mackville and moved southeast before dissipating. Damage was limited to broken tree branches and limbs. Peak wind was estimated at 55 to 60 mph. The tornado was photographed by a storm spotter.

The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms, from western Upper Michigan into southeast Minnesota, produced widespread damaging winds that downed a large number of trees and power lines as the storms moved into very warm and unstable air. A wind gust to 61 mph was measured at Marshfield Municipal Airport (Wood Co.) as the storms passed and a COOP observer in Plover (Portage Co.) measured a gust to 59 mph. Isolated quarter size hail fell at Hogarty (Marathon Co.) and southwest of Shawano (Shawano Co.), and a brief, weak tornado occurred near Mackville (Outagamie Co.) as the storms passed.

Began near Mackville (44.3395, -88.4412).
