By virtue of my job I've gotten a better look at some of the damage... will probably map some of it. I'm more amazed than ever that nobody died. The one that got our area was an F2 and traveled right through a fairly populated area, with lots of trailers and small, elderly frame houses. Not even an injury. I believe the local tally was 81 homes with substantial damage, 16 made unlivable or destroyed. The water tower in Bath being blown down has made for boiling restrictions, but it appears that most areas have utilities back up.
From what I hear, Branchville SC may have taken the most fearsome hit. The tornado was an F3 when it passed through, and much of the small downtown is torn to shreds.
I didn't know the details about the game being in OT in Atlanta. That most likely saved some lives.
Storm coming through on Monday the 24th has an interesting look. The temps in this area keep trending down, with the forecast models converging on a much colder storm. Might be winter precip in the Piedmont over to the Mid-Atlantic.. but I'm too jaded with impotent winter storms to be willing to bite into this one just yet.
