Synopsis
Ed Piotrowski of WPDE and Steven Pfaff of the NWS joins us to discuss the F2 tornado that hit Myrtle Beach in 2001. This tornado moved slowly down the beach, alternately moving on and offshore several times, and causing significant damage, including blown-out windows, tipped-over buses, and damaged roofs and utility poles. Thirty-nine people received minor injuries, but with the timing and location, that number should have been much higher.
