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 brief, narrow tornado touched down in a residential subdivision northwest of Hannibal, MO early Friday morning. The tornado first touched down along Rosewood Drive, where it ripped the siding off the westward facing wall of a residential home. The tornado then continued northeast towards Deer Ridge, completely destroying a couple of vinyl fences and breaking limbs off a large tree on the north side of Deer Ridge. The tornado quickly lifted as it pushed east towards Munger Lane. The tornado was rated EF0 with a path length of 0.13 miles and a max path width of 25 yards. No injuries or deaths were reported.
