ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) - York County officials are assessing the damage from a storm system that killed three people and injured at least five others.

Scurlock says at least seven homes were damage or destroyed.
He did not have details on the injuries.
The victims' names have not been released while relatives are notified.
Officers have blocked roads leading into the area and only allowed emergency workers and power crews into the area.
