Survey Summary:
A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed an EF2 tornado
in Clarendon County, SC in the city of Manning. The tornado had a
path length of nearly 3 miles with a maximum path width of
140 yards. The peak wind associated with the tornado was 115 mph.

The tornado touched down near the corner of W Huggins St and
Brunson St. The tornado pealed back a large portion of the roof
of a building at that intersection, destroyed a playset, and bent
a metal basketball hoop post. The tornado tracked north-
northeast, crossing Paxville Hwy, then flipped a pickup truck in 
the parking lot of Walmart, shifted two rooftop HVAC units 
approximately 15 feet at the Walmart, and lifted and bent roof 
trusses of the structure. The tornado turned northeast and 
knocked down numerous trees at the Kensington Pointe Apartments, 
and along Manchester Dr and Michael Ct just northeast of the 
apartments. Minor roof damage was also observed to several homes 
in this area, with mainly a loss of shingles. 

The tornado then intensified as it approached and crossed Old 
Georgetown Rd, producing the most significant damage in the 
vicinity of Bob White Dr and Gossett Ct. Two newer construction 
homes suffered significant damage in this area and several others 
had minor damage. The two homes with the most damage had garage 
failure and one of them had complete uplift of the roof and all of
the walls blown out in the room over the garage. Two vehicles in 
the driveway and one in the garage were shifted several feet. All 
of the windows in the front of the other house were blown out. The
tornado then moved across the Pocotaligo River and weakened 
before snapping a few trees and overturning a trailer at a 
business near the intersection of Sumter Hwy and June Burn Rd 
where the tornado eventually dissipated.
