Tornado Pummels Clarendon County Neighborhood.

A tornado touched down Friday night in the Winters Hill community of Clarendon County. About 15 people were injured, 4 critically, and dozens are now homeless from a mobile home park flattened by the storm. It was great to see the teamwork and response in aiding the people who were affected. The Salvation Army and Red Cross were on site almost immediately, and thanks as usual to the local EMS , police and firemen. Even Gov. Sanford was at the scene Saturday to see the damage. Clarendon County is often a forgotten part of the state, so it's great to see everyone come to their aid. I wanted to do something to help the local effort, but I know someone who would have better ideas. If you want to help, I'd e-mail Cathy Gilbert, Editor of the Manning Times, and I'm sure she could put you in touch with someone. She's a Democrat, but she has a good heart. The Manning Times is listed on SC Hotline, and you can e-mail her from there.
