953 nut 55,065 #2 Posted September 18, 2018 The storm turned North before it got to my neck of the woods. Looks like @elcamino/wheelhorse and @richmondred01 may be getting some nasty weather now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McGrew 460 #3 Posted September 18, 2018 Jim, Thanks for asking! I am in the NW corner of SC, and we dodged a bullet. Originally, the forecasters predicted 10-15” of rain and winds to 60mph for our area. The storm stayed north of us, and we had gusts to around 40 mph, but the rainfall barely got to 3/4 of an inch. We had minimal damage here. The folks East of us were not so lucky... Danny 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,498 #4 Posted September 18, 2018 We really lucked out too. We were originally to get 8"+, but it changed course and we've had maybe 2" total. Just about 40 miles to our east is a different story though. Never know what the weather is going to do until it's all said and done. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richmondred01 2,237 #5 Posted September 18, 2018 I’m good. Just a bit soggy. Power flickered several times. Thank you for your concern. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,295 #7 Posted September 18, 2018 Rain, thunder and lighting all day yesterday . Tornado was about 4 miles from me as the crow flies. Turned the computer on for a few minutes and big clap of thunder and lighting , I cut it off . I just turned it a few minutes ago and it has started up again. Some flooded roads in the area and downed trees. Pretty sure we had more than one tornado. Kept kids at school pass 6:30 pm yesterday due to the weather.
