Upper energy interacted with a warm front to produce severe thunderstorms, including tornadoes, mainly across southern portions of the CSRA and Southern Midlands.

The tornado touched down west of Monarch Road in Barnwell County about 4.5 miles north of the town of Barnwell. It tracked to the ENE through Barnwell State Park, then across Highway 3, and Bufords Branch Road, just south of Blackville, then continued to the ENE and moved out of Barnwell County and into Bamberg County near US Hwy 78. Most of the damage observed along the path was rated EF0 or EF1, but the tornado did briefly strengthen into a weak EF2 as it crossed through Barnwell State Park. Hundreds of trees were either snapped at the trunk or uprooted. Numerous trees fell on homes resulting in roof damage. Several structures were either heavily damaged or destroyed. The greatest structural damage occurred to a single wide mobile home SW of Blackville that rolled several times and had the floors separated from the undercarriage. The female resident of this home was trapped and sustained injuries. Other structures suffered extensive roof damage, including several chicken houses.

In Bamberg the tornado then moved northeast across Fox Glove Road, before dissipating just prior to the Orangeburg County line.

There were numerous hardwood and softwood trees that were either uprooted or snapped along the path of the tornado. A pivot tilt irrigation system along US Highway 176 was overturned.

With a mean upper trough axis to our west, a lead impulse moved through our region in a SW flow aloft Wednesday. At the surface, a stationary front was stretched across central SC/GA, with a cold front to our west, that came through late Wednesday night. Upper energy, diurnal heating, strong low to mid level jets, and the surface front, contributed to moderate to strong instabilities, along with strong shear. This produced severe thunderstorm activity, including a few tornadoes, along with numerous reports of strong damaging straight-line wind gusts and large hail.

Tornado damage began in Edgefield County on the east side of Johnston near Winthrow Avenue and continued northeast into Saluda County.The tornado touched down in Edgefield County near Johnston and moved to the ENE into Saluda County through Ward before dissipating northwest of Ridge Spring off of Murphy Farm Road.

As the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Nate moved north across Alabama and into Middle Tennessee, outer rain bands associated with the cyclone and scattered thunderstorms developing ahead of the bands impacted Upstate South Carolina during the afternoon and evening. Multiple tornadoes, with a couple of strong tornadoes developed in association with some of these storms.

NWS storm survey found an area of weak tornado damage that began near the Highway 72/Highway 221 intersection. Although the damage path was lost northeast of this location in a heavily wooded area, dual pol radar data indicated the tornado likely continued to the north/northeast to Highway 39, where additional damage was found along Beaverdam Church Rd and Teague Rd. The tornado continued north/northeast, lifting southeast of Laurens. Damage was confined to mostly minor damage to homes, a few damaged or destroyed outbuildings, and numerous downed trees and large limbs.

NWS storm survey found a short tornado path in northwest Cherokee County, along Robb School Rd between Barbara Ave and Oliver's Way, with damage primarily limited to two residences. These homes received mostly minor exterior and roof damage, although some plywood was torn off the exterior of an attic of one home. The interior of this home received water damage from subsequent heavy rainfall. Flying debris broke out windows and caused additional exterior damage. Multiple trees were also blown down in the area.

The tornado initially touched down on the northern bank of Lake Greenwood on Pineland Road near Fawn Court and continued north-northeast to Workman Kelly Road. Numerous large hardwood and softwood trees were snapped at their trunks on both roads. The tornado continued north-northeast to the intersection of Highway 39 and Salter Road. This is where the tornado damaged the roof of a home and severely damaged the roof and building of a workshop. Much of the metal roofing was destroyed then blown across the property. The two garage doors of the building were blown inward. A wood framed work shed with a metal roof with significant weight was lifted from it's base and landed in the nearby woods. A portion of the front porch of the home was lifted and landed in the back yard. A large work trailer was overturned in the back yard and damage done to a few trees around the house. Along Poplar Spring Road, several trees were snapped at their trunks as the tornado continued northward. The tornado lifted before reaching Vaughnville Church Road approximately 2.4 miles after initially touching down. The tornado lasted approximately 7 minutes.

NWS storm survey found a non-continuous path of tornado damage that began at Maxey Dr near the center of Norris. Multiple trees were blown down, several outbuildings damaged or destroyed, and a home received moderate roof damage at this location. The first of several short breaks in the damage path occurred there, but the path was picked up again in an area along Robinson Bridge Rd, just north of Jule Merck Rd, where the most significant damage was observed. The roof of a brick home was completely removed and part of an exterior wall collapsed. Two mobile homes were also completely destroyed in this area. The path was lost again downstream of this location, in a mostly inaccessible area roughly paralleling Twelvemile Creek, but additional tree damage and minor damage to a mobile home was found along Liberty Highway between Nix Rd and Sweetbriar Rd. Yet another break in the path was observed to the north/northeast of this location, but additional damage to trees and outbuildings was observed along South Belle Shoals Rd and Allgood Bridge Rd. A final area of damage was found just west of downtown Pickens, with roofing material removed from a home on Bradley Dr and multiple trees down along Shady Grove Rd.

NWS storm survey found a second, stronger tornado touched down in Laurens County, approximately 4 miles north/northeast of where the first tornado lifted, or on the east side of Laurens, near the intersection of Fleming St Ext and Torrington Rd. Significant damage was observed along Irwin Rd, between Hazelnut Ct and Cashew Trl, where several manufactured homes were severely damaged or destroyed. An occupant of one of these homes was injured. The tornado continued north/northeast to near the intersection of I-385 and Highway 49. From there, the tornado traveled roughly along Highway 49. A frame home in this area had its roof completely removed and multiple cinder block and brick walls collapsed. Otherwise, the tornado continued to damage many outbuildings and blew down numerous trees and tree limbs. The tornado moved away from Highway 49 near the intersection of Highway 308 and while the damage path was lost in this rural area, dual pol radar data indicated the tornado continued north/northeast, crossing into Spartanburg County less than a mile north of Highway 49.

In Spartanburg County the tornado damaged outbuildings and downed trees and large limbs on Highway 92 and along Watson Rd near Cross Anchor Highway. The most significant damage in Spartanburg County was found in the Glenn Springs community, at the intersection of Highway 215 and Glenn Springs Rd, where an outbuilding was destroyed and others damaged, numerous trees were downed, and homes received minor structural damage. (Note: The NCEI Storm Events Database lists this as two separate tornadoes.)

NWS storm survey found a short tornado path in Union County along Haney Rd near the intersection of Mount Lebanon Rd. Damage was primarily limited to downed trees, although a couple of houses received minor exterior damage, while some underskirting was removed from a mobile home.

NWS storm survey found an area of tornado damage in the Lake Lanier area in extreme norteast Greenville County. Tornado impacted the Lake Lanier area. The tornado initially touched down about a half mile south of the lake, blowing down numerous trees, causing mostly minor structural damage to homes and damaging multiple outbuildings, although one home did have a large part of its roof removed. Some trees fell on structures and vehicles. The tornado moved almost due north to the lake, with additional damage noted on both shores. No further damage was found north of the lake in South Carolina.

A band of rain showers along and ahead of a strong cold front quickly intensified during the afternoon across Upstate South Carolina. Multiple severe and/or tornadic thunderstorms developed within the line, with multiple tornadoes, some of which were quite strong, reported across the area. This was the second tornado outbreak to impact the Upstate in just over two weeks, and for the most part, the same counties that were impacted on October 8th were once again affected on the 23rd. In fact, a Cherokee County tornado from the 23rd passed within several hundred feet of an event that occurred on the 8th.

NWS storm survey found the path of a tornado that began near the intersection of Highway 101 and Neilson Rd. The tornado moved north/northeast uprooting and snapping numerous trees along Greenpond Rd and Switzer Green Pond Rd. Some structural damage was also noted to homes in this area, mainly minor roof damage and damage to gutters and siding. The path of the tornado was lost in the area around Pearson Rd and pine Hills Rd, where it entered a heavily wooded valley near the Tyger River, but dual pol radar data indicated the tornado likely continued through this area. The track was picked up again in the area between Bethany Church Rd and Highway 290. Many downed trees were observed from that area northeast toward Reidville Rd, where damage became less intense and more sporadic. The tornado continued northeast to near the I-26/Highway 29 intersection, where the path made an eastward jog. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted in neighborhood off Highway 29 just east of Westgate Mall. Although a distinct tornado path was lost in this area, extensive Straight-line wind damage continued downstream of the tornado path.

NWS survey found that a second, more intense tornado touched down on the northwest side of Spartanburg, along Business 85 near Spartanburg Community College. The tornado reached its peak intensity almost immediately upon touching down, as a warehouse building near the intersection of Spring St and Simuel Rd suffered extensive damage, with the collapse of an exterior wall, and much of the roof removed. Multiple trailers were damaged or destroyed and several cars flipped in a parking lot at an adjacent business at Garrett Rd and Spring St. A person who sought shelter in a glass booth under a metal awning structure at this location was hospitalized with burst ear drums due to the extreme change in air pressure. A warehouse building also lost much of its roofing here. The tornado continued east/northeast, paralleling Business 85, snapping trees along New Cut Rd, and collapsing a wall at another warehouse style building on Buffington Rd. The tornado appeared to weaken considerably from this point, with damage primarily limited to downed trees and limbs until the path ended near the intersection of Business 85 and Highway 9.

NWS Storm survey found the path of an EF1 tornado that began about 1 mile southeast of Chesnee near the Cherokee/Spartanburg county line. Damage associated with this tornado was largely confined to uprooted and snapped trees as it moved northeast, crossing Highway 11, Keg Town Mill Rd, and North Green River Rd before crossing into Rutherford County in North Carolina near Camp Ferry Rd. However, a couple of outbuildings were also damaged.

NWS storm survey found the path of a strong tornado that touched down near the intersection of Farmington Rd and Meadowview Rd, with damage initially confined to downed trees. The tornado moved north/northeast to the intersection of Fairview Rd and Highway 11, where two homes sustained EF2 damage, with much of the roofs of both homes removed. The tornado appeared to weaken northeast of this location, with damage confined mainly to minor structural damage and downed trees and power lines until it reached the area near the intersection of Furnace Mill Rd and Robb School Rd. A frame home slid off its foundation on W Diesel Dr, resulting in virtual destruction of the home. The path of the tornado through this area was less than 1000 ft west of a short track tornado that impacted the area around Robb School Rd and Twin Bridge Rd on October 8th 2017. The tornado weakened again from there, with damage confined to downed trees and tree limbs as it moved into Cleveland County between Twin Bridges Rd and McCraw Rd.

A storm survey conducted by the National Weather Service confirmed an EF-1 tornado touched down near the intersection of Old Reaves Ferry Rd. and Inman Cir. and tracked to the northeast. Considerable tree damage was observed between Inman Cir. and the Waccamaw River. The team observed numerous trees, up to 16 inches in diameter, snapped and many large limbs were also broken out of the tree tops. On the east side of Inman Cir., a window was blown out of a garage and the garage door buckled slightly. Winds were estimated to 95 mph. The tornado had a path length of just over a third of a mile and a maximum path width of 75 yards. The tornado was on the ground for less than 2 minutes.
