EF1 tornado in Laurens County, South Carolina

This tornado touched down along Wynfield Court north of Gray Court and moved along an intermittent path in a north northeast direction. Some trees were snapped and an outbuilding overturned near the beginning of the damage path. The tornado skipped to Robert Harris Ct, tearing the underskirting off a mobile home. Damage intensified toward Bramlett Church Rd, where a mobile home was moved from its foundation and had some siding and underskirting removed. Some shingles were torn off homes on Harris Bridge Rd, while the roofs of a well house and storage shed were blown off as well. The tornado lifted near Christmastree Lane, where several large oak trees were uprooted, one of which fell on and damaged a home. Also, a detached garage was completely destroyed at this location.

A strong cold front crossed the western Carolinas during the evening hours. The combination of strong wind shear and weak instability contributed to the development of a broken line of thunderstorms, a couple of which produced QLCS (non-supercell) tornadoes over the Upstate.
