A short damage track began on Bethany Church Rd northwest of Moore and extended northeast before ending on highway 290. Two sheds were destroyed and the roof partially blown off a larger shed. Part of a deck was torn off a house. Also, several 8 inch diameter pine trees were snapped and numerous limbs were blown down.
Multiple sources reported multiple trees blown down from Moore to Pauline. Damage was especially concentrated along Murph Rd near Pauline, where dozens of trees were uprooted and several were snapped. Some siding was removed from a home, lawn furniture was tossed several hundred feet, and a trampoline was lofted into a tree.
Utility company and ham radio operator reported trees blown down, with some on power lines in the Moore and Roebuck area, including on Patricia Dr in Roebuck.
Several trees were blown down over the southern part of the county, including on I-26 near mile marker 29, 2 Mile Creek Rd near highway 221, Price House Rd near Hobbyville Rd and on Browning Rd.
Wind damage occurred at the construction site of Dorman High School, at the intersection of Interstate 26 and U.S. 221. A construction trailer was damaged, debris scattered and a 1000-pound roof vent was removed and rolled a short distance. Trees were felled in the Roebuck area of Spartanburg County at about the same time.
