A combination of large branches and downed trees was noted along State Route 72.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms formed ahead of a cold front which crossed the Upper Ohio Valley on July 12th. Most storms formed near and south of the Mason-Dixon Line into WV, as moisture was too limited further north. Sufficient instability and shear were realized for several wind damage reports.

Began near Hannahsville (39.2400, -79.7100).
