What the National Weather Service wrote

Large branch down on road blocking one lane in Killingworth CT.

The wider storm

An upper level trough as a cold front approached at the surface. Just before a line of thunderstorms reached our area along the cold front, thunderstorms developed over our area in a zone of low-level warm advection. This moisture eventually interacted with the storms along the cold front and helped strengthen them. Severe thunderstorms developed and produced damaging winds in southern CT.

Began near Killingworth (41.3500, -72.5600).
