What the National Weather Service wrote

Report of 2 inch diameter tree branches breaking off, a large tree split in half at a Central Point city park and damaged picnic tables. Also, a home on willow springs road was destroyed when a Douglas Fir of approximately 2 feet in diameter landed on the roof. This caused a bowing and break of the roof, and upheaval of the foundation.

The wider storm

An area of low pressure centered offshore of southern Oregon and far northern California sent mid-level moisture northward and created an unstable air mass, leading to the development of a severe thunderstorm with strong straight line, downdraft winds in the Rogue Valley cities of Central Point, and Eagle Point. About 7000 customers in the Rogue Valley lost power.

Began near Central Pt (42.3783, -122.9284).
