An animated gif, showing the developing cell from Spartanburg as it collided with a wave of thunderstorms cresting over the Appalachians during the late afternoon of August 5, 2010. Much of southern Cleveland County was raked by a violent storm that erupted with this collision, yielding strong updrafts, extremely heavy rain, high winds, vivid constant lightning and power outages.   The storm dropped nearly 3" of rain near Earl and Patterson Springs, with widespread 1" to 2.5" over much of the highway 74 corridor and points south.
