Event narrative (NOAA)
Deep low pressure developed to the north of the region. Southern South Carolina, including Hampton county, was in a dry slot on the 2nd with sunny skies allowing the atmosphere to mix into very strong winds aloft. Wind gusts to 50 mph were common across the region. This brought numerous trees down across the region. One man was killed when a tree landed on his truck in Yemassee.
