    cool, not very accurate in one area.. on lake Wateree.. or Camden. I've witnessed several, one made our front comical little newspaper, it came across Springdale racecourse and damaged a few houses in Edgewood. I've seen a twister, and two others come across Wateree, one demolished the house we lived in. I believe it was 82. That old house was on the front page of the paper again, the sole house ripped down.. it through a tree through my neighbors, ours was flattened. two stories, old beach house style, the second story main door was on top, and a mounted bass on the wall behind it was propped up.. pretty cool pic, if it wasn't our house.

    SC gets out share. They also missed the one that marched down Parkins Mill Rd right over my head during the hurricane what 3 years ago with all the flooding. Had gone to the gym that morning thought not too bad just more rain. Then it got worse. Roads flooded on the way home had to drive around. Standing in my garage and wind went from 10-15 to over 40 in a Sec and I heard the trails coming. Jumped inside. Power was out 12 days after that.

    Yeah Ralph, I have seen 2 that aren't recorded on that map. One in downtown Laurens and another in Wateree. Interesting they show 4 tornadoes at Edisto Beach. I have seen half of them. Guarantee that isn't correct. My neighbor had his roof snatched off about 15 years ago...

    Morning J..

    yeah, my boat was on the local news down there about fifteen years ago with me running from one.. it was the first time and I think the only time I flagrantly dismissed a no wake zone.

    Was the Laurens tornado in the mid-late 80’s?
