What happened
The episode as NWS DDC wrote it up.
After a strong upper system dumped 1 to 3 inches of rain across a large part of the area, the associated deep cyclone rippled across the area. A tightening gradient and downward mixing of strong winds aloft, brought widespread high wind to the area. There were at least two injuries from the wind blowing vehicles off the road. Numerous overturned tractor trailers littered the area. Large trees were uprooted in many communities and missing shingles reports were quite common.
