The National Weather Service office in Greenville-Spartanburg SC has completed a storm survey in Anderson and Laurens counties of South Carolina. The survey is in relation to the severe storms that moved through the area Wednesday evening, May 8, 2024. The survey team began in Anderson County, traveling a path including Northlake, Anderson, Belton, and Princeton. The team found evidence only of straight-line winds, with peak intensity of 75 mph in downtown Anderson, where minor structural damage occurred to a building. Numerous trees were on houses. This damage was all west of US Highway 25 and extended into far western Laurens County. The team picked up the survey again near US Highway 221 north of Waterloo in Laurens County, traveling generally southeast to near Mountville and Cross Hill. The observed damage was not along a clear path indicative of a tornado, so this too was attributed to straight-line winds of less than 75 mph. The survey ended before the team reached the Newberry County line. $$ Wimberley
