Lexington, SC

The next 5 seconds of your life

Laura Jefferson: Real Estate Agent in Columbia, SC

Wow what a night. Lexington South Carolina is usually a quiet little place without much drama. Not last night.

We got home late from a scrimmage ballgame and was getting everyone ready for bed when suddenly I heard a distinct BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR of a freight train. What? Grabbing my children from upstairs we ran to the lower level and took cover. The next 5 seconds was scary! It seemed like 5 minutes.

NO WARNINGS ISSUED. As I have a all weather radio that didn't make a sound.

Official reports say it was a microburst but for those that seen it we know what it was. It was a small funnel cloud (tornado) that hit the ground for maybe 5 seconds. The wind was in excess of 60-70 MPH.

Westbrook and Martins Grove Community in Lexington South Carolina has some major damage and lots of debris all over the place. I have not ventured out yet this morning but I will post pictures as I can. I know there are large trees down and a few roofs that are gone. All within 5 seconds with no warnings. No rain no lightning no nothing!

Bears in Lexington SC...oh my!

Laura Jefferson: Real Estate Agent in Columbia, SC

bearBears in Lexington SC...oh my! Yesterday a young bear was spotted a mile or so from my home. This is right on the shores of Lake Murray in Lexington South Carolina near downtown and city limits. It is unusual to see a bear in the midlands of South Carolina as its not really there range.

Bear sightings have increased over the last few years as it seems the population is growing. SCDNR Say's this is the time of year Mother Bears chase off the cubs to start a new life. And the cubs wonder about to find there own home range.

I will think twice if my children say they have seen something in the woods from now on. Bears in Lexington South Carolina? Oh My!

Laura Jefferson: Real Estate Agent in Columbia, SC

This was sent to me by a longtime family friend and I wanted to share with all my southern friends here at AR....Enjoy!!!

FRIENDS" VS. "SOUTHERN" FRIENDS


FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Always bring the food. And lots of it.


FRIENDS: Will say "hello".
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss. More than one.


FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad, and often.


FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Cry with you. And for you.


FRIEND S: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being together. Then do the dishes before leaving.


FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. And most of the time know you better than you do yourself.



FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.

SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' back-ends that left you. Then walk beside you in the front of the crowd.


FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "Are you home?" If you are not home they will wait.


FRIENDS: Are for a while.
SOUTHREN FRIENDS: Are for life. And then some.
