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 brief EF-0 tornado was observed near Grand Oaks High School in Spring. Based on video, it appeared to briefly touch down in a field. A flipped over soccer goal was the only evident damage for the very short lived weak tornado.

The wider storm

Showers and thunderstorms developed along and ahead of a strong cold front and produced funnel clouds, wind damage and a tornado.

Began near Oak Ridge North (30.1200, -95.3600).
