What the National Weather Service wrote

Three trees were blown down by thunderstorm winds near Danville Community College.

The wider storm

A moist and destabilizing airmass existed ahead of an upper level storm system traveling across the periphery of a sprawling mid-summer ridge across the southern plains into the southeast U.S. This triggered multiple severe thunderstorms due to the modest shear and instability in place. One of these storms spawned a tornado in Grayson county.

Began near Danville (36.5671, -79.4050).
