What the National Weather Service wrote

Two trees were downed by thunderstorm winds near the intersection of Mount Rush Highway and Toga Road.

The wider storm

A stationary front positioned roughly from New York to the Gulf Coast led to several rounds of showers and thunderstorms in the Piedmont of Virginia. An upper level storm system combined with daytime heating helped increased the coverage of storms during the afternoon and evening hours, while low level convergence along the front focused the thunderstorm activity near the mountains.

Began near Toga (37.4953, -78.6323).
