What the National Weather Service wrote

Hundreds of trees blew down around Pikesville, Garrison, Chestnut Ridge, and Brooklandville blocking numerous roads. Many trees fell onto houses and cars.

The wider storm

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.

Began near Cronhardt (39.4300, -76.7300).
