Summary
A tragic accident claimed the life of 56-year-old Dana Weigner at Driftwood Grill on Lake Marion, South Carolina, when a sudden microburst wind lifted and hurled an umbrella into her — killing her instantly. The storm, powerful enough to move furniture, struck just after 7:30 PM while she dined with family. First responders found her unresponsive with critical head and neck injuries. Coroner Jacqueline Blackwell called it a rare, devastating event. Authorities are analyzing weather data to understand the microburst’s force. Restaurant owners mourn deeply, offering counseling and prayers, while honoring the swift response of emergency crews and the community. Privacy remains paramount as the family grieves.
