| Episode Narrative | Moderate to strong atmospheric instability and shear led to a line of showers and thunderstorms along a cold front, that moved east across the region during the afternoon, producing wind damage along with some embedded tornadoes. NWS Storm Survey teams found that a total of 5 tornadoes occurred. Considerable thunderstorm downburst wind damage also occurred. A 3-year-old boy was killed when a large tree, that was downed by strong thunderstorm winds, fell onto his home near Sumter, SC. |
| Event Narrative | An EF-0 tornado briefly touched down near US Hwy 176 and moved quickly north to Mollys Rock Rd where it dissipated. Most of the damage was restricted to a small area along Mollys Rock Rd. There were three hardwood trees and one softwood tree that were snapped. One large oak tree was snapped off near the ground and the other trees were snapped off about 15 to 20 feet above the ground. |
