What the National Weather Service wrote

Multiple poorly rooted trees were blown due to gusty winds and saturated soils.

The wider storm

A low pressure system spinning over northern Louisiana and southern Arkansas brought several rounds of showers and thunderstorms producing widespread heavy rain to northeast Louisiana through the day August 23rd. This flooded roads across portions of the area, and trees in saturated soils were more easily blown down.

Began near Winnsboro (32.1600, -91.7200).
