WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
December 2023Tornado (EF1)Stalvey$200,000The tornado touched down south of Socastee Blvd between Everette|St and Tyner St, snapping several large trees and blowing off|portions of roofs from a few mobile homes. It moved north,|skipped across Socastee Blvd, and snapped several large pines|along Village Dr. Eight homes suffered moderate to major damage|as a result of falling trees. The storm cell continued north|across inaccessible property, and emerged near Folly Rd and|Wayland Circle. Significant damage was observed to several homes|and trees. Several trees were snapped or uprooted, and minor to|moderate damage was noted to roofs and siding. One mobile home|was pushed off its block foundation. The tornado appeared to lift|as it crossed the Intracoastal Waterway and touched down again on|the Arrowhead Country Club property. Numerous large hard and|softwood trees were snapped just south of the Flintlake|Apartments. Tree debris was blown into several apartments,|breaking windows and causing moderate roof and siding damage. ||Damage upstream of the initial touchdown, along and south of |Palmetto Pointe Blvd, was straightline in nature and not the |result of a tornado. Additional wind damage occurred to the old |Waccamaw Mall at Fantasy Harbour. Portions of the facade were |blown off, in addition to several pieces of siding. A few bay |doors were blown in, and a large section of storefront wall was |buckled outward a few inches. A few nearby UPS and FedEx trucks|were blown over, in addition to a tractor trailer. This damage |appeared to be the result of straightline winds that occurred |after the tornado dissipated and the storm cell bowed |northeastward. Spotty tree damage was also observed on the |northeast side of Highway 501 in the River Oaks area.
