Event narrative
Several trees and wires blew down near Brandywine, including along CR-21/2 Fultz Gap Road.
Wider weather episode
A subtle remnant disturbance from prior day's convection over the Midwest amplified a pre-existing lee pressure trough, igniting numerous thunderstorms. Given the excessive hot, humid, and unstable environment, these thunderstorms were able to organize into clusters and lines despite a lack of stronger wind shear.
