National Weather Service specialists will look over the aftermath of the towering thunderstorms that might've spawned a twister in Laurens County. There was a tornado warning in effect shortly before damage reports started coming late Thursday afternoon.
No injuries have been reported, but the Highway Patrol says a car crashed into a tree that had been brought down across an I-26 guardrail in Clinton. The Fire Department reports a car wash was heavily damaged on Main Street in Joanna.
Trees were downed just across the line in Greenwood County in what looks like a typical tornado path, although straight line or microburst winds could've done that. A 75-mile-an-hour gust was clocked at the Greenwood County Aiport.
