NWS storm survey found the path of a weak tornado on the north side of the city of Abbeville. The tornado touched down near the intersection of Beltline Rd and Highway 20. The tornado moved due east through a forested area before impacting a residential neighborhood near the intersection of Mt Olive Church Rd and Old Douglas Mill Rd. In addition to numerous trees and power lines being blown down along the path, a large oak tree fell through a home, a metal carport was ripped from another home, and column supports torn from another home in this area.
After early morning flash flooding, rain rates moderated across the lower Piedmont, but flooding gradually expanded, with high water conditions remaining in place throughout much of the 4th. The main stream affected during this time was Dry Creek and/or Long Cane Creek, with Miller Mill Rd closed due to high water.
NWS survey found a small damage area consisent with EF0 tornado damage in northeast Abbeville County. Damage was mainly confined to downed trees and power lines.
Fifteen to eighteen roads were blocked by fallen trees in and around the city of Abbeville. There were also quite a few power outages due to trees and limbs falling on lines in the city. Trees were also downed up to 5 miles east of town where the skirting was blown off of a mobile home.
Large limbs on power lines on highway 28 bypass. Also, a tree fell on and damaged a home on Greenville St and trees took down 3 power lines on Harrisburg Street.
A tornado touched down briefly in the Parsons Mountain area of the Sumter National Forest, blowing down several hundred trees along its 1/4 mile track.
