There was no damage to my house and I think the worst that anybody's
house got was maybe losing a few shingles. The closest the tornado came
to me was about fifteen to twenty miles. Well, if it made it to downtown
Charleston that was just about exactly fifteen miles. But the only sign
I personally noticed from it was that there was a lot of thunder and
lightning. I shut down my computer and unplugged it along with the
refrigerator and the kitchen stove and then the electricity went out. I
was expecting not more than a few hours, but then I found out that it
was a tornado and power lines were down all over. For the most part it
just moved among forested areas where there were no people, but it just
had to veer off course to take out?? power lines wherever it could find them.

Haven't had a chance to check my email yet, but I am sending this just to say
that I am back on line after a two day power outage. We had a tornado. It was
only a small?? EF-1 tornado and there were no reported injuries and no
significant structural damage, but it did take out a bunch of trees and cause a
power outage for about 21 thousand people, me included. I understand that the
tornado got as far as downtown Charleston. I never heard of one getting into
the downtown area here before. But by that time it was no longer touching the
ground and was petering out, so it only managed to scare a lot of people.
