What the National Weather Service wrote

A tree was reported down across Indiantown Rd. The time was estimated based on radar data.

The wider storm

Mid-level vorticity impulses embedded in enhanced southwest flow tapped surface based and elevated instability to produce widespread thunderstorms in two distinct waves, one late evening and another overnight. The environment was characterized by modest mixed layer CAPE values and relatively high shear which helped to organize and intensify the convection.

Began near Kingstree (33.6824, -79.8364).
