What the National Weather Service wrote

A large branch was downed onto wires on Red Maple Drive in Coventry.

The wider storm

An upper level disturbance coupled with cold air aloft and moving into southern New England set off a complicated mix of showers and thunderstorms and non-convective winds. All efforts were made to separate out the non-convective winds from the thunderstorm winds.
