Tornadoes' Paths: See Where All the Twisters Formed, Traveled

The damage from Saturday's tornado outbreak in the Midlands is still being assessed, but we now have a better idea of what path each tornado took.

Thank you for your coverage during the outbreaks of these tornados. I live in West Columbia and fortunately did not experience any of the bad weather but by watching your coverage I was able to prepare myself in case a tornado came my way. My prayers go out to the people who experienced the worst of these storms.

No, I would be asking for a house.

I would like to see manning tornado reports. I live in Manning and need to know where it hit last Saturday March 15, 2008.

Thank you.

I was in St. Matthews at the Calhoun House of Pizza when this storm ripped through town...it flickered the lights first and then a few minutes later finally sent them off for good...come to find out it had busted about five or six utility poles down Sikes Road...not far from where we were...

My husband was outside at the start of this and when he came back in the wind started whipping around and knocking the vases and stuff off the tables...you could see that the storm was passing through as it did this...

Our waitress tried to shut the door after the door had been blown open but it was ripped out of her hands apparently and she was pelted with sideways rain...

Nilda,

The Clarendon County tornado is covered in the "tornado #4" discussion.

What time was this? I live in the Athens School Road area and we got pelted with hail. After the hail storm, I went outside and heard what sounded like a VERY loud plane and thought what the heck is a plane doing flying in weather like this. And then I realized it was the wind.

it was about 6:30 Saturday night

I do know it tore through the Andrews area of Williamsburg County about 2 hours after it hit St. Matthews

Yeah, it was really weird because, when I venture outside, the wind wasn't blowing at all, but I could hear one heck of a wind blowing off in the distance. I couldn't tell which direction because of all the trees around my area and I'm not sure which direction, but it was very loud. I've never experienced anything like that.

We had a tornado touch down out here in south lexington county, at crystal springs and old charleston hwy. we had two to come thru down in this area.

[IzziesMom2005]

I pray that everyone is helped in the ways they need to be and am thankful that no lives were lost. I live in Sumter and we were blessed. All we had was rain, some wind and a little bit of thunder. We sat glued to the TV watching and listening. We had everything planned out if we got a warning but thank the good Lord we didn't! God bless you all!

Looking at the aerial video, it's amazing noone was killed.

The map is incomplete. What about Timmonsville and other areas hit?

[thompson]

Yeah, it's kind of hard to stomach flippant remarks about someone losing their home. Saturday was bad, and it's not like it was their fault.
