Scary Moments in Wake of Storm
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — A local elementary school closes due to a power outage; a family of four in their truck as a tree falls on it; and a man forced to clear his yard of branches after limbs tumble atop his roof; all examples of the storm’s aftermath in the Midlands. Jonathan Bankhead is thankful his wife and three children are alive after a tree fell on top of their SUV while they were in it. Meanwhile, Ricky Wright’s daughter gets an unexpected day home from school after Brennen Elementary shuts down due to a power outage. At one point, some 7,000 were in the dark in Richland County due to heavy winds and rain. Weather officials say more could come Monday evening into Tuesday.
