Midland South Carolina, Lexington SC
Saturday evening we were at the ball game with my sons baseball team. The winds were howling and the clouds were threatening. Bottom of the 4 Th inning and Its getting worse and I'm starting to worry. Doppler is indicating some bad weather. A Pop fly caught and an out that ends our game on mercy rule (our win go PPL!). The rain starts and everyone rushes to there cars to head for safety.
This was the extent of our brush with weather while others In SC were just beginning. More than 46,000 homes were without power by later that day. And many are now without a home. My sister lives less than 3 miles form the Tornado in Branchville. Thank God they are ok.
The clean up will continue today and putting the pieces back for others may take months. Lets all pray for these people that were devastated and If we can, lend a helping hand. South Carolina rarely sees this type of event. Bless all of you that were touched by this disaster and I hope you are all safe.
