What the National Weather Service wrote

A tree was blown down onto a powerline near SW 31st Lane and West State Road 238. The time of damage was based on radar.

The wider storm

Deep lift provided by a potent trough and upper jet aided deep convection along a prefrontal trough. A stout low level jet preceded the front itself resulting in heavily sheared low levels with bulk shear around 40-50 kts in the lowest 3km. This dynamic energy fueled organized cells embedded within the larger squall line as it pressed into Suwannee Valley and interior southeast GA zones around sunrise. The line progressed to the southeast through the morning and exited to the south late in the afternoon.

Began near Providence (30.0000, -82.5700).
