What the National Weather Service wrote

Wind gusts blew trees down throughout the county with a couple of trees blocked due to falling trees. Periodic wind gusts to 35 mph continued into the early morning hours of April 2. 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.
