What the National Weather Service wrote

The Fleming County dispatch reported that a strong thunderstorm gust front knocked down multiple trees along Dudley Hollow and Wooley Roads.

The wider storm

A large cluster of severe storms developed over southeast Indiana and Ohio during the afternoon and evening hours. After sunset, these storms became more linear and quickly advanced southward with a strong outflow gust front. This gust front and trailing line of storms produced a swath of minor wind damage as they plowed into northeast Kentucky during the mid-to-late evening hours but rapidly weakened after dropping south of the Mountain Parkway. No weather observing stations in the Jackson forecast area measured severe wind gusts; however, a 67 mph gust was recorded at the Fleming Mason Airport just north of the Fleming County line.

Began near Wallingford (38.4000, -83.6100).
