| Episode Narrative | An upper trough and strong surface cold front moved through the Central Savannah River Area of GA and Midlands of SC in the late afternoon and evening. Strong thunderstorms developed along and ahead of the front. Sufficient atmospheric instability and shear contributed to the development of seven tornadoes across the region, one EF-0, four EF-1's and two EF-2's. |
| Event Narrative | A tornado touched down near Blackthorn Dr and Two Notch Rd southeast of Gilbert, then tracked in a general ENE direction for approximately 11 miles, crossing I-20 between mile markers 48-49, then moving across Longs Pond Rd, Muddy Springs Rd, S Lake Dr and Emanuel Church Rd, before dissipating near Kitti Wake Dr near Red Bank. The tornado snapped and uprooted numerous hardwood and softwood trees, causing damage to support columns at Red Bank Baptist Church, and resulted in roof and property damage to several homes. |
