Event narrative

Two large trees were blown down across the southbound land of Henley Road. One tree fell onto power lines. The time of damage was based on radar.

Wider weather episode

A surface front was shifting south across Georgia with a surge in moist WSW flow off of the Gulf of Mexico under a passing short wave trough and bulk shear of 20-25 kts. Intrusion of drier air from the NW exacerbated DCAPE values well over 1000 J/kg and supported strong downburst winds in scattered severe storms that developed across NE FL in the evening.
