    Public Information Statement

    Statement as of 4:47 PM EDT on May 13, 2008


    ... Preliminary information from damage surveys of the may 11
    2008 tornado outbreak...

    The National Weather Service in Charleston SC had four damage
    assessment teams survey the damage that occurred across portions of
    southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia from severe
    thunderstorms which impacted the region on Sunday... may 11 2008. The
    preliminary assessment follows with the damage listed in
    chronological order...


    ... Jenkins County /Emmalane EF-1 tornado and straight line wind
    damage/...

    Observed damage in and around the community of Emmalane... which is
    approximately 4 miles southwest of Millen... indicated that an EF-1
    tornado occurred. The tornado touched down around 733 am EDT
    southwest of the intersection of US 25 and old Savannah Road. The
    tornado continued northeast for approximately 1 mile and had a
    width of approximately 1200 yards. Maximum winds were estimated at
    95 mph.

    Along the tornado path... damage occurred to a Mobile home where the
    roof was uplifted and the structure shifted from its foundation.
    There was also significant damage to nearby sheds and trees.

    Significant and widespread straight line wind damage also occurred
    along a 16 mile path starting approximately 2.5 miles west of
    thrift... continuing to around 4.5 miles east of Millen. Along this
    path... maximum winds were estimated at 110 mph. Overall... about 50
    to 60 homes were damaged with 10 to 12 of these homes destroyed
    resulting in 1 injury. Damage also occurred to the rose Mary church
    and the Oak Hill church. Most of The Straight line wind damage
    appears to have occurred from the rear flank downdraft of the
    passing supercell thunderstorm.


    ... Tattnall County /Cobbtown EF-3 tornado/...

    Observed damage in and around the community of Cobbtown in northern
    Tattnall County Georgia indicated that an EF-3 tornado occurred. The
    tornado initially moved into northwest Tattnall County from near the
    border with Candler... Emanuel... and Toombs counties. This was a
    continuation of a tornado in far northeastern Toombs County. The
    first indications of significant damage... consistent with an EF-1
    tornado... occurred along representative Kennedy Road where a Mobile
    home was partially destroyed. A well defined path of debris was
    noted trailing southeast of this area across open farm fields.
    Several homes were also severely damaged with roofs blown off along
    Henry Moxley Road about 1 mile southeast of representative Kennedy
    Road.

    The tornado continued to strengthen as it turned east toward
    Cobbtown and peaked around 743 am as it crossed near the
    intersection of Georgia state highways 121 and 57. Here the tornado
    completely leveled a brick convenience store and caused considerable
    damage to tree and nearby structures. Two people working in the
    store at the time of the tornado were injured but not killed. The
    damage pattern in this area was consistent with an EF-3 tornado with
    winds estimated between 140 and 150 mph. Also in this same general
    area... but just south of the tornado/S track... there was evidence of
    a high downburst. These winds... estimated to be around 100 mph...
    were likely caused by the rear flank downdraft of the passing
    supercell thunderstorm.

    The tornado continued to move east across open farm fields where
    extensive tree damage and minor structural damage consistent with an
    EF-1 and EF-0 tornado was noted. The tornado dissipated about 1.5
    miles east of Cobbtown... however occasional bouts of non-tornadic
    straight line winds were observed across portions northeast Tattnall
    County and northern Evans County near Undine.

    Tattnall portion of path

    Strength... ... EF-3 *** 2 injured ***
    peak winds... . 140-150 mph
    Max width... .. 200 yards
    track length.. 4.5 miles starting at the intersection of the
    Toombs... Emanuel... and Candler County lines.

    Note... the total path length of this tornado starting in
    northeastern Toombs County is 7 miles.

    ... Screven County /straight line wind damage/...

    Straight line wind damage was observed 3 miles north of
    Sylvania... beginning near Bascom Road... and continuing east across
    Burtons Ferry Highway... ending east of the intersection of Route 24
    and Friendship Road. The total length of straight line wind damage
    was approximately 5 miles... with a width of 1000 yards. Maximum
    winds were estimated at 110 mph. Damage occurred to nearly 20
    homes... as well as significant damage to The Greens of the local
    Country Club. Tree trunks were snapped... and trees were uprooted all
    along the path.


    ... Bulloch County /Nevils/Denmark EF-1 tornado/...

    Observed damage around the Neville and Denmark communities in
    southern Bulloch County Georgia indicated an EF-1 tornado occurred.
    This tornado was produced by the same supercell thunderstorm which
    produced the tornado in Cobbtown. The initial touchdown occurred
    around 810 am along Nesmith Proctor Road where a cluster of trees
    were snapped and blown down. The tornado then moved rapidly east and
    crossed Interstate 16 near mile marker 125 where extensive tree
    damage occurred. The tornado then moved across Highway 67 near old
    Rocker Road where it partially destroyed the roof of a Mobile home
    and damaged nearby trees. Finally the tornado crossed old Happy Road
    and moved through the old Happy farm where it completely destroyed a
    Mobile home... several irrigation systems and large storage shed
    before dissipating.

    Strength... ... EF-1
    peak winds... . 105-110 mph
    Max width... .. 400 yards
    track length.. 2.25 miles


    ... McIntosh County /Darien EF-3 or greater tornado/...

    Information regarding the McIntosh County tornado will be updated
    within the next day or two as more details are made available to the
    National Weather Service. In the meantime... please refer to previous
    public information statements for additional preliminary information
    on this tornado.


    ... Charleston County /Wadmalaw Island and Johns Island EF-2
    tornado/...

    On Sunday may 11... 2008... an EF2 tornado first touched
    down at 612 PM EDT on Wadmalaw Island along Bears Bluff Road... where
    minor damage was observed. The damage at the initial touchdown
    location was confined to several trees getting sheared off near the
    base or twisted to the ground.

    The tornado then traveled east and crossed Maybank Highway on
    Wadmalaw Island at 613 PM EDT where major damage was observed. The
    majority of the damage occurred on the 4800 block of Maybank
    Highway... where nearly all trees in the path of the tornado were
    twisted to the ground or sheared off near the base. Numerous homes
    were damaged as the tornado ripped through... with many sustaining
    roof and shingle damage. In fact... two homes had a section of there
    roof detached and hurled approximately 50 to 100 feet away from the
    residence. A detached garage also sustained damage... when the
    suction from the tornado caused the garage door to get buckled
    inward into the garage itself... and portions of the tin roof was
    ripped away and displaced 50 to 75 feet from the garage. A
    cinderblock wall on another home sustained severe damage when a
    large section of cinderblocks was torn from the wall and hurled
    into the home. Additionally... a chain link fence around the
    residence was ripped off and displaced 20 to 30 feet from the
    supporting poles which held the fence in place. Another home
    sustained severe damage... as the front porch of the residence was
    detached and tossed 100 to 150 feet away. The same home had the roof
    lifted 2 to 3 inches from the supporting walls... and a large window
    curtain was actually pulled upward and into the attic as the tornado
    moved through. Quite a bit of damage was also observed in the Long
    Creek Plantation Subdivision of Maybank Highway... where significant
    tree damage was observed along with several homes sustaining some
    minor roof damage.

    The tornado moved onto Johns Island at approximately 618 PM EDT
    when it crossed bohicket Road. Moderate damage was observed as it
    moved through this area of Johns Island. The majority of the damage
    was confined to trees being sheared off near the base or twisted to
    the ground. Several homes did sustain some roof damage as shingles
    were lifted and displaced from the residences.

    Minor damage was observed on River Road when the tornado weakened
    before finally lifting at 626 PM EDT... just south of the Charleston
    Executive Airport before it moved onto James Island. The damage
    along River Road was confined primarily to several downed trees. A
    tin roof of a shed sustained some minor damage as well... as it
    lifted slightly but remained intact.

    The maximum sustained winds have been estimated at 120 mph. The
    total path length was 12 miles... with a path width of 1 mile when it
    crossed Maybank Highway and six tenths of a mile on bohicket Road.
