Does Greenville, SC and immediate area get any severe weather conditions or just typical stuff like strong winds, thunderstorms, and very hot/humid summers?
Probably the biggest risk to people and property would be ice storms, which happen once or twice a year, from what I'm told. The power goes out, trees come down, cars slide into each other. Get a generator and stay home- the ice is gone quickly. I won't have big trees hanging over my house for that reason.
funny you should mention that....the whole area was under tornado watches today, and one touched down in greenwood somewhere I think, at least a funnel cloud anyway
All bad weather was south of Greenville. We had nice thunder showers, but nothing severe in the Greenville metro. A little south of here was a totally different story.
I was down in Columbia to see the Avett Brothers at Five Points for St. Pat's Day (which was canceled due to weather) and on the way back it was raining about the hardest I've ever seen rain, and then it started to hail. The clouds were really dark and some of them hung almost to the ground. I was expecting to see a tornado any minute but it never happened, thankfully!
YIKES!!!!
Greenville area doesn't usually get weather like that regularly, does it?
Glad to hear that nothing serious came of it in Greenville! Sounds scarey. I lived in Tampa a couple of years ago and left to go back to Canada with the 3 kids the day before Hurracaine Charlie hit. My husband had to stay behind for work......said it can be pretty scarey, waiting for something like that.
Oh well.......comes with the territory, I guess.

Heavens no. This is something that happens once every 5-10 years if even that. What we had yesterday were supercell thunderstorms that you normally see out in the plains. Most of our severe weather comes from squal lines along a cold front instead. Those don't produce tornadoes but rather straight-line winds instead which aren't as bad.
