A confirmed tornado hit an area just west of Charleston, South Carolina, overnight, damaging houses and downing trees. No injuries were reported in the twister.
The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado was of EF2 intensity on the Enhanced Fujita Scale early Friday evening. Two homes were majorly impacted, including one that lost most of its roof and external walls.
"One of the low-pressure systems associated with the ongoing coastal event spawned storms that developed a reported tornado," said weather.com meteorologist Ari Sarsalari.
The hardest hit areas were Johns Island and West Ashley, according to the Associated Press. The tornado damaged homes and downed traffic lights in the area. More than 3,400 homes and businesses were without power early Friday morning, NBC News reported.
