Hurricane Hugo struck Charleston, SC on September 21-22, 1989. At the time it caused more damage than any other natural disaster in US history (that would later be surpassed by Hurricane Andrew and most recently Katrina).

  • I lived in Charleston when it hit ,but luckily I was only a year and 1 month old exactly when it hit. Would be cool to remember some of it though.

  • @SSarsKing Just stay calm. They don't use the name hugo anymore. Hurricane hugo is WAY worse than your hurricane whatever the name is. Lucky for ME, I live in manchester, TN that has tornadoes, not hurricanes. HOWEVER, I might move to charleston. Wich has A LOT of hurricanes so you are safe, and I am prablably DOOMED! So you're safe, and I'm doomed. You are LUCKY!

  • OMG! I MIGHT MOVE TO CHARLESTON!! IT HAS A LOT OF BAD HURRICANES!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

  • @FamilySmith Try not to lose it. Because you won't be able to replace it, because they don't use the name hugo for hurricanes.

  • But they don't use the name hugo for hurricanes anymore.

  • @SSarsKing I have an idea. EVACUATE!!!!

  • I bet hugo cepret wanted his notebook so badly that he had a hurricane named after him. If you don't get it than read the book of ''THE INVENTION OF HUGO CEPRET''.

  • Rob Fowler appeared at 1:55!

  • @417polkadot It was weak in terms of wind, but was not weak in terms of water. The surge was not as disastrous as forecast, but it was still pretty strong and a HUGE rainmaker at that. My cousin lives along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and her house was flooded and the roof was practically gone. The category of a hurricane just measures wind, it does not measure rain, or surge. Well it does surge to some extent. Irene was a Cat. 1 at landfall, but it carried Cat. 3 storm surge with it.

  • we got wind gust to140!!!
