What the National Weather Service wrote

Two or more trees were blown down by thunderstorm winds along Valley Ridge Road.

The wider storm

A weak front near the Appalachian Mountains interacted with a warm, moist air-mass

to spark widely scattered thunderstorms. A couple of these storms produced damaging winds and penny size hail, and local rainfall rates of 3 to 4 inches per hour were observed.

Began near Mallow (37.7715, -79.9592).
