What the National Weather Service wrote

Four large tree branches were broken. The cost of damage was unknown but it was estimated for Storm Data.

The wider storm

An upper trough was over the region with north to northwest upper level flow over the local area and weak shortwave troughs rotating overhead. This energy provided enhanced

lift for diurnally enhanced sea breeze storm that formed along the more dominant west coast sea breeze. Deep tropical moisture was in place with precipitable water values near record values in the 2.0-2.4 inch range. These ingredients produced a few strong storms with localized flooding rainfall.

Began near Tyler (29.6100, -82.7300).
