Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A National Weather Service damage survey team evaluated damage that occurred with a severe thunderstorm that moved through portions of central Jasper County Monday afternoon.  The team found considerable damage to trees south of Ridgeland with a damage pattern consistent with a tornado.
The tornado touched down just west of Jasper Road between the communities of Okatie and Switzerland and moved rapidly east-northeast before lifting near the intersection of South Carolina Highway 462 and Snake road. The worst damage occurred between Jasper Road and Riley Field Road where the team estimated between 300 and 500 medium to large-size trees were either snapped or uprooted.  Some debarking of trees was also noted.  This degree of
tree damage was consistent with an ef-1 tornado on the enhanced Fujita scale with winds estimated to be between 85 and 95 mph.
