A National Weather Service storm survey team, determined that damage occurring near the intersection of Steed Creek Road and Halfway Creek Road, 5 miles west-northwest of Awendaw, South Carolina was a result of straight line winds. The storm survey team found multiple large pine trees were snapped and uprooted in this area.
A National Weather Service storm survey team, determined that damage occurring along Halfway Creek Road, 3 miles east-southeast of Smith, South Carolina was a result of straight line winds. The storm survey team found multiple small trees and tree limbs down in this area.
A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed an EF1 tornado with an estimated maximum wind speed of 95 mph in Berkeley County occurring from 359 PM EST to 404 PM EST. The tornado, associated with the outer rainbands of Hurricane Idalia, began just south of Eccles Church Road over Muddy Creek. As the tornado approached Eccles Church Road, it snapped and uprooted several large hardwood and softwood trees. The tornado then continued north-northwest into a heavily wooded area where it sporadically snapped and uprooted many trees, before continuing a north-northwest track over another wooded, marshy region, producing minor damage to some trees. The tornado then ended near Irishtown Road. In addition to the ground survey, high resolution satellite imagery was used to fine tune the track of the tornado over remote locations.
Law enforcement reported United Road washed out near the intersection with Highway 41. The washout likely occurred near a branch of Hester Canal. Heavy rains were associated with Hurricane Matthew.
Tornado snapped off large trees and broke off large tree limbs in the Francis Marion National Forest. Tornado touched down about 7 miles east of Huger at 754 pm and traveled East near 5 miles before dissipating about 4 miles north of Awendaw in Charleston County at 803 pm. The tornado was rated low end F1 with winds in the 75 to 85 mph range and at the widest point was 200 yards wide.
