Event narrative

The tornado touched down on the west side of I-95 just south of mile

marker 184, and snapped several large pine trees, damaged a billboard,

and destroyed a storage shed as it moved north-northeast for

approximately one-quarter mile. A single-wide trailer home sustained

some minor damage to the underpinning, and a portion of metal roofing

was blown off another home at the interesection of Holland Drive

and Mallory Beach Road. The tornado crossed I-95 near the Catfish

Church Road overpass and entered forested land on the east side of the

interstate. Several more large pine trees were snapped off as the

tornado remained on the ground for another one-quarter mile.

The remnants of tropical system Delta spawned several tornadoes and strong thunderstorms.
