What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
An upper air disturbance moved through New Jersey late in the day on the 11th. It triggered showers and a few thunderstorms and produced a second round of strong and in some instances damaging winds. High winds accompanied the showers in southwest New Jersey. Enough instability existed for the showers to intensify into severe thunderstorms as the precipitation moved across Burlington and Ocean Counties. Elsewhere in the state, peak wind gusts were generally a little weaker with this second round and averaged around 40 mph.In Burlington County, the severe thunderstorm knocked down trees, limbs and wires in Evesham, Lumberton, Mansfield, Medford, Pemberton, Southampton and Springfield Townships. In Ocean County, scattered trees and wires were knocked down throughout the county. The worst reported damage occurred in Toms River and Island Heights Borough. High winds knocked down trees in Swedesboro Borough (Gloucester County) and Voorhees Township (Camden County). No serious injuries were reported.
