|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 2020 | Tornado (EFU) | Kingville | - | The South Carolina Forestry Commission completed an aerial survey over an area|inaccessible by land. Radar indicated that the tornado likely touched down along the|upper reaches of Lake Marion in far southwest Sumter County, where a debris|signature was first noted on radar. The tornado moved to the NNW to near the|confluence of the Wateree and Congaree Rivers. The tornado continued moving to the|NW along the Congaree River and vicinity where it crossed back and forth between|Calhoun Co and Richland Co before eventually ending in Richland Co within the boundary of Congaree National Park. This tornado has been assigned an unknown rating as the degree of damage could not be determined from the aerial survey. Radar data was used to help determine the timing and location of the damage. |
| April 2011 | Funnel Cloud | Kingville | - | Weather observer at McEntire ANG Base reported a funnel cloud 9 miles SE of the base. Report sent via AWOS obs. |
