A tree was blown down on power lines along Pierce Chapel Road near Highbluff Road. The time was based on radar.

Wider weather episode

A very strong pre-frontal squall line raced across the local area which caused widespread winds damage. The environment had high bulk shear, elevated low level instability that nosed inland along a theta-E ridge axis from the GOMEX, a strong SSW low level jet, overridden by a strong mid level lobe of PVA.
