April 5, 2022 · NOAA Storm Events record
Event narrative (NOAA)
A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed an EF-3 tornado with an estimated maximum wind speed of 137 mph in Allendale County, South Carolina. The tornado touched down just north of the intersection of Bluff Road and Best Loop Road at 250 PM, then tracked rapidly northeast across Fitts Road and St. Mark Road, where it completely destroyed a few mobile homes, and injured one person. The mobile home damage in this area was sufficient to justify a low-end EF-3 rating. The tornado then continued to the northeast across Burton Road and Allendale-Fairfax Highway, where it produced significant damage to a building and many trees. From here, the tornado continued a path across Confederate Highway and then across the northern end of Sycamore, ending on the northeast side of Sycamore ne
