Supercell from McCormick and Edgefield counties crossed into southern Saluda county just south of Ward taking down many trees in its path. A house located at 381 Mt. Alpha Road south of the Ward town limits had major damage. The resident was in the kitchen when a huge limb almost struck her in the head. Her three kids were in the living room that had a limb go through the ceiling. Also, a truck across the street had a power pole and tree fall on it.
