            A National Weather Service Storm Survey team
            confirmed a brief high end EF-1 tornado with
            winds up to 105 mph in Langley, SC that
            occurred around 330 am. The tornado began
            near Pinecrest Drive snapping several large
            branches before uprooting numerous trees in
            Langley Cemetery. Moving northwest, the
            tornado snapped numerous trees and caused
            minor roof damage to multiple homes between
            Piney House Road and Chaffee Street. After
            crossing near Cushman Road, the tornado
            caused substantial tree, siding, and shingle
            damage between Piney Heights Road and Dunbar
            Street. The fire department and adjacent
            structures along Augusta Road then sustained
            high end EF-1 damage with garage door
            failure, outbuildings destroyed, and the
            metal roofing ripped off and thrown several
            hundred yards. Additional tree damage
            occurred along Langley Dam Road with dozens
            of uprooted trees before dissipating near
            Jefferson Davis Highway.
