Salters, the town this property stands in, in 5 storm reports between 2001 and 2019: 3 thunderstorm wind, 2 tornado.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A National Weather Service storm survey determined a tornado touched down twice over a one mile path. The first touch down occurred one mile southeast of Salters, snapping trees and destroying a manufactured home, equipment shed, and another building. The tornado dropped debris over a quarter mile path, and the damage was consistent with an F1. The tornado touched down again northeast of Salters, downing a tree, and flipping several sheds. Damage in this area was consistent with an F0. There were no reported injuries.
An EF0 tornado, estimated at 65 mph, touched down briefly southwest of Salters and lifted along Hwy 521. No significant damage was noted other than small limbs and some blown debris. Video was used to confirm the tornado.
Trees and power lines were reported down along Old Gapway Road. The report was relayed via South Carolina Department of Transportation and Santee Electric Cooperative.
