What the National Weather Service wrote

A tree was reported down on Jerusalem Plank Road.

The wider storm

A deep trough over the Midwest and surface low near the Great Lakes brought a robust cold front into the Mid Atlantic region. A strongly-forced area of linear convection moved from west to east across portions of central into eastern Virginia. These storms mostly produced strong to severe straight line wind gusts but one waterspout moved ashore from the York River into Gloucester county, causing EF0 damage.

Began near Booker (37.0000, -77.2600).
