COLUMBIA (AP) -- Severe storms have moved across South Carolina, leaving at least 15,000 homes and businesses without power at the peak of the storms.
The National Weather Service received at least 20 reports of wind damage and 35 reports of hail as the storms Tuesday knocked down trees and dropped hail up to the size of golf balls. No major property damage or injuries have been reported.
Lines of storms struck the northern and central parts of the state, while several individual storms moved across southern parts of South Carolina.
The National Weather Service received several reports of tornadoes, but have not confirmed any twisters touched down.
About 10,000 customers were without power in South Carolina late Tuesday evening. Duke Energy reported 2,000 outages in Greenville and Spartanburg, while South Carolina Electric and Gas reported 4,500 outages around Charleston, 1,350 outages in the southwestern part of the state, and 1,000 outages around Columbia.
