The tornado initially touched down approximately half of a mile southwest of the Hendersonville rest area off of Interstate 95, with a north-northeast intermittent path. Along the path, the tornado crossed State Road S-15-28, snapping several trees. The tornado then continued north-northeast where it caused damage to a house and barn just north of Black Creek Road. Several snapped and uprooted trees along with a few down power poles also occurred at this location. The tornado then continued north-northeast crossing Magellan Road, where approximately 100 trees were snapped.

In addition, the house was shifted a bit on its foundation. Numerous trees were snapped near the property of this home. The tornado then continued north-northeast toward Sniders Highway, where it produced minor roof and siding damage to a mobile home, tossed a trampoline into a tree line about 20 feet off the ground, snapped a few trees and severe damaged an old barn. The tornado then crossed Highway 63, snapping 2 power poles and causing minor roof and siding damage to a 2 story home. The tornado continued north crossing Donald Duck Point, where a mobile home was seen leaning on cinder blocks along with skirting destroyed. Two adjacent mobile homes also received minor skirt damage. The tornado then continued north, gaining strength and width while approaching Walterboro. The maximum tornado strength and width was surveyed about one fourth of a mile west of a large shopping complex along Highway 64, where approximately 1,000 trees were either snapped uprooted and severely damaged. The tornado then continued on a north-northeast track damaging dozens of trees while crossing Mount Carmel Road, before lifting approximately 2 miles of exit 57 on Interstate 95 off of Windmere Lane where damage to trees, power lines, and a large billboard occurred.
