Survey Summary:

An intense severe thunderstorm impacted portions of York County

on the afternoon of Saturday, April 20th. This storm produced a

swath of extensive wind damage extending from the city of York to

the city of Rock Hill and continuing to the Lancaster County

line. Winds within this corridor were estimated to be between 70-

90 mph, which downed large numbers of trees and power lines.

Structural damage also occurred to a number of residences and

businesses including collapsed gas station canopies, roof damage,

blown out windows, and facade/siding damage. The storm also

produced very large hail ranging from 2-2.75 inches (hen egg to

baseball size). The combination of high winds and very large hail

resulted in wind-driven hail that further exacerbated damage to

structures, vehicles and trees. A few minor injuries also

occurred.
