What the National Weather Service wrote

Newberry County dispatch reported multiple trees down in Dreher Island State Park, near State Park Loop.

The wider storm

An anomalously hot and humid air mass was in place ahead of a cold front. Widespread showers and storms developed ahead of this front in a highly unstable environment with sufficient deep layer shear to lead to more organized multicell clusters. This led to scattered wind damage reports. In addition, with high PWATs, flash flooding developed in downtown Columbia.

Began near Macedonia (34.0876, -81.4095).
