The path drawn at its surveyed width of 50 yards (0.03 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

This tornado first impacted a property north of Montgomery County Line Road and just east of State Route 721, where very minor damage to farm equipment was observed. Roof damage was observed at the next property to the southwest, with tree damage at a home directly north of Montgomery County Line Road. It was at this point, just north of the Phillipsburg Airport, that the tornado continued southeast into Montgomery County. The tornado ended in Montgomery County, at a property on N Diamond Mill Road at 2224EST.

Damage in Miami County was consistent with an EF0 tornado with 80 mph winds.
