Two trees were blown down south of Howell across the road.

The wider storm

High pressure was anchored NE of the region with a SSE steering flow over the local area. A passing upper level disturbance across FL enhanced mid level instability during peak heating which help trigger a few strong to severe storms along the sea breezes and outflow boundaries.

Began near Howell (30.8000, -83.0500).
