The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Fay stalled just west of the Appalachians and slowly dissipated. A line of mini-supercells developed southeast of the low, resulting in several tornadoes over the Upstate and Northwest Piedmont of South Carolina during the afternoon hours of the 26th. A small amount of flash flooding also occurred, though the flooding was much worse in North Carolina.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1142 AM EDT TUE AUG 26 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST
FROM EAST CENTRAL TENNESSEE THIS EVENING TO FAR EASTERN KENTUCKY
LATE WEDNESDAY. AS THE REMAINS OF FAY MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA...THE
RAIN WILL DECREASE. HOWEVER...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND...THE CHANCES OF RAIN WILL RETURN.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
WITH THE GRADIENT TIGHTENING BETWEEN THE REMNANTS OF FAY AND THE
HIGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES STATES...WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO INCREASE OVER
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE SE SLOPES. A
FEW TREES HAVE FALLEN...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD REPORTS OF FALLEN TREES
IN THE GA MTNS. SINCE THIS AREA HAS HAD 6 TO 8 INCHES OF RAIN...A
LOT OF THIS IS THE RESULT OF WET SOIL. I/VE INCREASED WINDS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND ADDED SOME GUSTS TO 40 MPH...BUT MOST OF THIS WILL BE
CONFINED TO A FEW AREAS. I DON/T PLAN TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY.
THE TORNADO THREAT IS ALSO INCREASING OVER THE SE HALF OF THE FA AS
A SFC BNDRY IS SHARPENING ACROSS THE SRN UPSTATE INTO THE SRN NC
PIEDMONT. SB CAPE HAS INCREASED TO AROUND 2000 J/KG ALONG OUR
BORDER WITH CAE...AND THIS UNSTABLE AIR IS MOVING RAPIDLY NORTHWARD.
HELICITIES ARE RUNNING QUITE HIGH IN THIS AREA WITH SHARP 0-1KM
TURNING ALONG THE BNDRY.
THOUGHT ABOUT EXPANDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO THE EAST AS MOST OF
THE FLOODING WITH THE EVENT SO FAR HAS BEEN IN THE CHARLOTTE METRO
AREA WHICH IS EAST OF OUR WATCH. HOWEVER...WE ALREADY HAVE FLASH
FLOOD WARNINGS UP FOR MOST OF THE AREA THAT HAS SEEN HEAVY
RAIN...AND A WATCH AT THIS POINT REALLY WOULDN/T HELP TO GET THE
WORD OUT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AT 3 AM EDT...THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL BE PASSING BY TO THE WEST OF
THE MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY...WITH A SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE
FLOW CONTINUING. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN FAY AND AN EAST COAST
SURFACE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN...DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF UPSLOPE FLOW BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...HOWEVER UPSLOPE FLOW CONTINUES INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. BY THURSDAY MORNING THE GFS AND NAM DIFFER IN THAT THE NAM
STILL HAS AN UPSLOPE FLOW COMPONENT BETWEEN THE SURFACE RIDGE AND
FAY...WHILE THE GFS MOVES FAY FARTHER EAST IN THE OH VALLEY...DRYING
OUR AREA OUT FROM THE WEST. A COMPROMISE SOLUTION WILL BE USED IN
THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...DRYING OUT THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE
AREA...AND MATCHING UP WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES IN THAT REGARD.
WITH HIGH POPS AND EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER ON WEDNESDAY...MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEVERAL CATEGORIES BELOW NORMAL. MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES ON THURSDAY AS
PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD COVER BEGIN TO DECREASE. MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT 3 AM EDT...THE ECMWF AND GFS BECOME OUT OF PHASE IN THE NORTHERN
STREAM DURING THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD...WITH THE GFS BECOMING
CHARACTERISTICALLY FASTER THAN THE ECMWF. A BLOCK IN EASTERN
CANADA BREAKS DOWN EARLY IN THE PACKAGE...ALLOWING A LONGWAVE TROUGH
TO PROGRESS IN ITS WAKE. THE CURRENT RUN OF THE GFS STILL SUPPORTS
THE LATEST HPC SOLUTION...AND THIS FORECAST WILL BE MAINTAINED AT
THIS TIME. FRI FINDS OUR AREA IN THE WARM SECTOR BETWEEN A WARM FONT
IN THE POTOMAC VALLEY...AND A COLD FRONT IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS
COLD FRONT ADVANCES TO THE OH AND MID MS VALLEYS BY SAT...REACHING
THE CAROLINA COAST ON SUN...AND THE GULF STREAM ON MON. A WARM AND
MOIST AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED CONVECTION.
DRYING WILL FOLLOW THE BOUNDARY ON SUN AND MON. TEMPERATURES WILL
RUN NEAR NORMAL AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THEN LOWER ABOUT A CATEGORY
AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
&&
.AVIATION /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
EXPECT PREDOMINATE IFR CIGS/MVFR VSBY IN GOOD UPSLOPE FLOW THRU THE
DAY AS REMNANTS OF FAY REMAIN OVER THE AREA. RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT
TIMES WITH LIFR PSBL IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. ISOLD TSTMS PSBL THRU THE
MORNING HOURS WITH SCT TSTMS EXPECTED THIS AFTN-EVE. WINDS WILL
GENERALLY BE 8-10 KTS FROM THE E...SE AT KAVL.
OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND LOW CIG/VSBY CAN BE EXPECTED
INTO THU AS FAY MOVES THRU THE AREA. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH A CHANCE OF MORNING CIG/VSBY
RESTRICTIONS AND DIURNAL CONVECTION EACH DAY.

9 tornado, 5 heavy rain, 1 flash flood. Local standard time, as filed.
A combination of gusty winds and a soaked ground resulting from very heavy rainfall caused a tree to fall on a mobile home, briefly trapping the occupant.
Several trees were blown down onto power lines in the Fort Lawn area.
This tornado touched down in Hart County, Georgia before skipping across Lake Hartwell and into extreme western Anderson County. The tornado then moved into Oconee County. The intermittent damage path was mainly limited to downed trees and power lines in Anderson County.

Some trees and large limbs fell on and damaged automobiles in the Clemson area.
Trees blown onto power lines on highway 137.
A tornado touched down near highway 187 and Mt. Tabor road where a home was damaged and a tree fell on a mobile home. The tornado continued to the north, eventually moving into Pickens County. Numerous large trees were snapped off on a ridge very close to the Pickens/Anderson County line, where wind speeds were estimated at close to 120 mph, earning the tornado an EF2 rating.
A tornado damage path extended from northwest Anderson County, into extreme southern Pickens County, affecting the research area on the south side of the Clemson University campus. Damage was limited to downed trees and power lines. Numerous large trees were snapped off on a ridge very close to the Pickens, Anderson County line, where wind speeds were estimated at close to 120 mph, earning the tornado an EF2 rating.
The tornado touched down in rural, southern Greenville County. As it crossed Davis and Richey Roads, about 5 miles east of Pelzer, it destroyed a garage, removed shingles from roofs and uprooted large trees. The tornado continued north into Moonville where it blew down more trees. It then lifted about nine miles south of Greenville.
Trees and large limbs blown onto power lines.
Oak Park Rd was flooded by Tools Fork Creek and Reese Roach Rd was also flooded at McConnells Highway in the same area. Old Limestone Rd was closed at Southbend Rd and Portions of highway 72 were covered with water from Stoney Fork Creek.
Elevated stream levels on Kings Creek caused a debris dam to form beneath a bridge on Old Chester Road on the York County line. The bridge pilings were damaged, eventually causing one lane of the bridge to collapse.
Turkey Creek overflowed its banks, flooding pastures and farmland with several feet of water. A driveway was also covered with up to four feet of water.
Elevated stream levels on Wolf Creek caused a debris dam to form beneath a bridge on River Road, damaging the pilings and eventually causing it to collapse.
Very heavy rainfall combined with clogged storm drains to produce deep standing water in a neighborhood on the east side of Gaffney. A couple of automobiles were submerged.
