I was at the NWS until a few minutes ago and there was NARY a mention
of a tornado. That storm went right by my work location and was so
nice to show off for me on break, with some pea size hail but it
really got cooking.

10:45 and still the NE part of SC into NC is melting down. And there
was this neato outflow boundary moving toward Columbia due North to
South out of Fairfield county. LOTS of very BRIGHT and VIVID
lightning. Some "ping pong" size hail was called in from Florence
SC...
