What the National Weather Service wrote

A swath of thunderstorm wind damage occurred along Axon Road where power lines and trees were blown down along with several damaged sheds.

The wider storm

A drier and more stable prevailing SE flow was over the area in the wake of a departing TUTT. Sea breeze and outflows converged across inland SE GA in the late afternoon and early evening where stronger downdrafts occurred and caused some wind damage due to drier mid level air enhancing DCAPE values.

Began near Axson (31.2700, -82.7300).
