HANAHAN, S.C. (WCBD) – High winds associated with Helene caused a tree to fall on a Hanahan mobile home.
The home, located in the Bullwinkle Mobile Home Community off Old Point Road, not far from the Goose Creek Reservoir Dam, was essentially severed by the large tree when it fell early Friday morning.
The resident told News 2 he was sleeping in his bedroom and woke up from a large boom around 5:30 a.m. He then walked to the kitchen which was destroyed by the tree.
No injuries were reported. The fallen tree also damaged two vehicles.

Much of the Lowcountry was heavily impacted by strong winds, isolated tornadoes, and heavy rain that stemmed far from the center of Helene as the large storm moved inland after making landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region late Thursday night.
Thousands of people across the tri-county woke up to no power, and debris in yards and on streets. Many roadways were also closed because of fallen trees.
