What the National Weather Service wrote

A peak wind gust of 45 mph or 39 knots was measured at the Edisto Buoy (41004) as a line of thunderstorms moved through.

The wider storm

A line of strong to severe thunderstorms developed out ahead of a cold front and pushed across the forecast area from west to east starting in the early evening hours. This was a strongly forced QLCS associated with a vigorous mid and upper level shortwave trough in an environment defined by high shear and relatively low surface based CAPE. This line of thunderstorms eventually pushed offshore over the coastal waters and continued to produce strong wind gusts.

Began near Bulls Bay (32.5000, -79.1000).
