Trees were blown down near Old Lawtey Road. The time of the event was based on radar.

The wider storm

An unusually strong summertime cold front extended from New England southward through the southern Appalachians and entering the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Aloft, the axis of Atlantic surface ridging remained stretched across south FL while a potent trough across the Great Lakes region was drove a broad longwave trough

across the eastern third of the nation. The added forcing from these features combined with high moisture and instability with speed shear triggered a few strong to pulse severe storms across the local area in the afternoon.

Began near Starke (29.9600, -82.1000).
