NWS Tornado Damage Surveys for April 8, 2015

National Weather Service survey teams mapped 2 tornado paths from this storm day (1 EF1, 1 EF0), 8 miles in all. The map above draws each surveyed path as the NWS mapped it, colored by the EF rating of each stretch, in place of the straight start-to-end line.

Rating	Peak wind	Path length	Max width	Deaths / injuries	On the ground	Surveyed by
EF1	90 mph	4.2 mi	150 yd	0 / 0	20:38–20:41 UTC	NWS St. Louis
EF0	70 mph	3.3 mi	75 yd	0 / 0	01:32–01:43 UTC	NWS Wichita

Survey data are preliminary and can be revised; NOAA's official record is Storm Data (NCEI). Paths are simplified to about 30 m. Times are when the tornado was on the ground, in UTC.
