A National Weather Service Survey Team confirmed a microburst just west-southwest|of the Town of Blackville in Barnwell County. The microburst produced winds up to 90|mph and was associated with a strong line of convection that moved across the|region during the late morning hours of January 4th. The damage occurred on the|property of the Clemson University Edisto Research facility. The microburst initially|overturned and damaged a pivot irrigation system and damaged one of the three guide |wire supports to a 50 foot tower along Pleasant Home Road. The damage continued|northeast where a cluster of trees were uprooted along the southeast side of a road|that traverses a dam along Toby Creek. The microburst continued northeast and|produced damage to a cluster of trees near a small cemetery. Approximately a half|dozen hardwood trees from oaks to cedars were uprooted. There was one hardwood|tree that was snapped and a small cedar tree that was snapped near the top at this|location. Just before the microburst ended it downed two power poles. There was no|apparent damage as the path neared U.S. Highway 78, Dexter Street. The length of|the event was just over 1 mile and the width of the damage was approximately 50|yards.
