Mini twister type activity occured out our way a lot of trees and powerlines down, no one injured as far as I could find out from neighbors.

Was in Powdersville with wife and daughter at the Children's Medical Center when it hit, dust devils there. My boy called and was concerned for the twisting tree out back near the house.

Near my store in Rock Hill we watched two fronts collied. There was a small hole of light and the clouds would rise up through it from all side as they merged like it was a chimney. It was wicked looking and I kept waiting to see a funnel cloud drop down.

Just cleaned our yard and rebuilt the driveline in my tractor. Now I am parked under ceiling fan on high with a cold beer updating my amigos.

No, we won't be there the 20th. Sounds like fun, though. We're coming up the first week of November.

Good to hear from you, we are still having a lot of rain and wind. I'm not from SC, so I don't know if this is normal or not.

(2) Two fatalities w/multiple trees and power pole/lines thrashed... down my way.

Heck that day was like a scene from the movie "Twister"... Only difference was that I had a 150 and not a Ram.... dodging flying limbs, parts of someones yard-shed even had a lid to a transformer hit/land in the rear of the truck Plus other "goodies"!

Woulda made one heck of a F150 commercial with the "extreme" Slalom action... My strobes and wigwags were breaking through all the mess.

I luv mah Truck!
