This is video I shot while driving through Charleston South Carolina late on the night of September 21th 1989 as Hurricane Hugo, a strong cat.-4 Hurricane with 135-MPH winds approched the coast. After a brief stop at a road side motel, me and my chase partner resumed our drive looking for a suitable place to ride out the storm. You can hear the Charleston Noaa Weather Radio as our car is buffetted by wind gusts of between 45 and 65-MPH. You can also see the power going off and on at various times around the city.
