What the National Weather Service wrote

Widespread trees were blown down across the eastside of the county. The time of damage was based on radar.

The wider storm

A mean westerly steering flow pushed a progressive Gulf sea breeze inland and pinned the Atlantic sea breeze between I-95 and the Atlantic coast in the afternoon where explosive convection developed over a very moist and unstable airmass. Additional strong to severe storms developed across SE GA near a meandering surface front, but coverage was limited given drier mean layer moisture.

Began near Surrency (31.8100, -82.1300).
