Six More Tornadoes Confirmed in Carolinas Outbreak, Damaging Homes in South Carolina and Georgia
The National Weather Service has confirmed six more tornadoes from the storms that crossed the Carolinas and Georgia on Oct. 10-11, 2026, adding the outbreak's longest surveyed track and its first confirmed damage to occupied homes. An EF-1 tornado tracked 18.04 miles through Barnwell County, South Carolina, with peak winds of 105 mph, the weather service's Columbia, South Carolina, office said. A second EF-1, in western Allendale County, South Carolina, damaged four homes, the agency's Charleston, South Carolina, office said. No injuries or deaths were reported from any of the six tornadoes, the surveys found.
The six tracks belong to the same outbreak the weather service confirmed its first tornado from on Oct. 11, 2026: an EF-1 in Jones County, North Carolina, with additional storm damage reported in three other North Carolina counties.
The Columbia office also revised its estimate of the Barnwell tornado's length, from an initial 16.17 miles to the confirmed 18.04 miles. The same supercell produced the Kline tornado, a separate EF-1 with peak winds of 95 mph that snapped numerous trees over nearly two miles just west of Kline, South Carolina, the office said.
North of there, the weather service's Charleston, South Carolina, office confirmed a fourth EF-1, in northern Allendale County, with peak winds of 105 mph. It moved through a wooded area before dissipating short of the Barnwell County line, with damage limited to snapped and uprooted trees.
In Georgia, the same Charleston office confirmed two further tornadoes in Screven County. An EF-1 with peak winds of 105 mph destroyed a mobile home when a large tree fell on it and crushed several parked cars with falling trees in eastern Screven County. Earlier the same day, a weaker EF-0 near Captolo, in southern Screven County, peeled back the roof of a standalone garage and snapped tree limbs, with peak winds of 80 mph.
Back in South Carolina, the Western Allendale County tornado, with peak winds of 110 mph over a 3.20-mile track, also caused damage. One home lost its aluminum roofing and front porch, another suffered a complete roof and wall failure on a rear addition, and two more had minor roofing damage; an outbuilding and two carports were also destroyed. The tornado then tracked north through wooded terrain, snapping more trees, the agency said.
