What the National Weather Service wrote

Wind gusts downed four trees in the New Castle area. Winds continued to gust periodically up to 40 mph through the evening hours. Damage values are estimated.

The wider storm

High winds occurred after the passage of a cold front. These winds helped to cause a great abundance of trees and power lines to be blown or taken down across the region. Given the dry conditions, some of the downed power lines parked several small brush fires.
