Elloree, the town this property stands in, in 27 storm reports between 1995 and 2023: 17 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 2 flash flood, 1 heavy rain.
The reports record 1 injury. 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 trained spotter relayed a report through social media with photos of a parking lot light pole at a commercial food distribution center blown over onto the hood of a semi-trailer causing damage. Time estimated.
A severe long-lasting thunderstorm, that developed in Calhoun Co, continued to move SE across lower Orangeburg Co and produced strong damaging winds, knocking down numerous trees from near Elloree and vicinity, SE to near Felderville, Santee, Vance, Wells, Eutawville, and Holly Hill and vicinities. An NWS Storm Survey team determined that the greatest damage occurred between the community of Felderville SE to near Wells, including at Lake Marion High School, where winds estimated at 80 to 85 MPH caused damage to the roof of the school and also uprooted trees and caused roof damage to a church across the street from the school. Golf ball size hail also occurred at the high school and caused damage (see separate entry).
Emergency Manager reported roof torn off mobile home at US301 and hwy 47. Several trees were down on homes, a mobile home was rolled over, and a shed was damaged.
