February 6, 2020 · NOAA Storm Events record
Event narrative (NOAA)
NWS storm survey found the path of an EF1 tornado that began in the west Spartanburg/Clevedale area, near the intersection of Willis Rd and Harvest Brook Way. Damage was primarily limited to downed trees in this residential area, although one tree fell on and damaged a home. Structural damage increased as the tornado moved through the Westgate Mall and Dorman Center areas near the Highway 29/I-26 intersection, with business signs being damaged and roof damage occurring to several homes and apartment buildings just east of Westgate Mall. This same neighborhood was impacted by another EF1 tornado in October 2017. The tornado strengthened as it moved east of this area, along West Main St toward downtown. Businesses lost roof panels, and at least one small outbuilding was destroyed. Tree damag
