What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorm winds blew down one tree on Phelps Branch Road.

The wider storm

An upper level trough moved from the Central United States into the eastern United States through January 9, which led to rapid surface cyclogenesis that resulted in a deep surface low with a trailing cold front. This strong storm system brought damaging winds gusts as well as widespread heavy rain.

Began near Oakville (37.4008, -78.8705).
