What the National Weather Service wrote

Thunderstorm winds downed two power lines and caused some tree damage at about the middle point between Lively Grove, Oakdale, Addieville, and Nashville.

The wider storm

A hot, humid airmass in place during the afternoon of August 28th caused an unstable environment, albeit with very little bulk wind shear. Weak outflow boundaries around the Ozarks served as a focus for convective initiation that afternoon. Downbursts were the primary hazard, and one storm produced isolated wind damage in Washington County.

Began near Cordes (38.3200, -89.4800).
