National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed the damage in northern Greene County south of Union and determined it was the result of an EF-1 tornado.

A brief EF0 tornado moved through far southern Cherokee County just north of Piedmont. Damage consisted of minor tree and shingle damage. The tornado formed along Highway 9 and moves along Cherokee County Road 2, continuing eastward and then a little southward before dissipating along Cherokee County Road 27 just west of Highway 278.

Interactive map of track will be coming soon.
