What the National Weather Service wrote

A tree was knocked down on Highway 19 in the Vina area.

The wider storm

A wake low developed behind a large complex of thunderstorms that moved through earlier in the overnight hours. This produced rapid barometric pressure falls and gusty winds, but no damage reports that could be discerned. Additional isolated strong thunderstorms developed shortly after in northwest into north central Alabama, which produced small hail and locally strong and gusty winds which knocked down a couple of trees.

Began near Vina (34.3770, -88.0640).
