WNC_Fort Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was there! I was young, around 9 or 10. I do remember it vaguely though. I did not really comprehend there was a tornado going on outside of my hotel room, until my mom began freaking out. Its why she never took our family to the beach again!

Jaydog Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 That was a fascinating event. A storm developed along a southward moving backdoor cold front. The storm then interacted with a strong sea breeze that day and quickly took on supercell characteristics and eventually the tornado. Strange thing was, the storm/tornado was moving from northeast to southwest right down the beach. This "backwards" movement led to the tornado arriving well before the rain/hail associated with the parent storm itself. That ended up catching a lot of people off guard. If you're familiar with the area, the first touchdown was around 48th Ave north and then it really intensifed as it moved south past the old Pavilion. The tornado finally dissapated near the end of the MYR airport (what is today's Market Common). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
