The path drawn at its surveyed width of 25 yards (0.01 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 weak tornado formed in rural Gentry County, but produced little to no damage outside of some tree damage.

The wider storm

On the evening of June 28 a complex of supercell thunderstorms moved into northern Missouri, producing widespread large hail and damaging winds, mainly north of Interstate 70. These storms also produced at least 3 tornadoes, all north of Highway 36. The strongest damage was located in Harrison County where some low-end EF-1 damage to a residence occurred. Otherwise, the damage was confined to tree damage to rural parts of Harrison, Gentry, and Nodaway Counties. Heavy rain and slow movement of the complex contributed to some flash flooding across northern Missouri. There were no known injuries with this evening's event.

Began near Stanberry (40.2226, -94.5972).
