What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorm winds blew down one tree along the 600 block of Staunton Hill Road and another tree along the 1000 block of Coles Ferry Road.

The wider storm

A cold front associated with an upper level trough triggered the development of thunderstorms across Southside Virginia in the afternoon and evening. Warm air advection ahead of the front steadily increased through the day, and increased moisture over the area. This environment led to localized damaging winds gusts from storms.

Began near Aspenwall (37.0200, -78.8300).
