What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency management reported a fence blown over and large hardwood tree branch down due to a thunderstorm wind gust. Radar estimated winds were 45 to 50 mph in the area.

The wider storm

The combination of high pressure sinking southward and Tropical Depression Ida over the Northeast U.S. allowed for a mid-level trough and deep moisture to sink southward across the region. This prompted light S to SW flow, which pushed the Gulf Sea Breeze inland and towards the east coast while the Atlantic Sea Breeze pinned along the east coast, causing strong thunderstorms to develop over parts of South Florida.

Began near South Miami (25.7200, -80.2900).
