Hurricane Hugo - Wrath to Restoration 

I had just turned 1. This hurricane destroyed my great grandmother’s trailer in Myrtle beach. Cool to hear the old low country accents.

Most women's 1980s hairstyles survived the storm!

My mom was on vacation and survived this alone. We aren't from an area that has this weather so I was scared for her. Thanks for the upload.

Hard not to forget this one. I was 13 and about 2am I'm being woke up by our trailer picking up and slamming down. We quickly decided to leave,so we drive not too far to a waffle house because my sister was working there. The windows in waffle house were breathing, I watched the Hardee's sign slam to the ground and then fly to the waffle house under my sisters car, then at Hardee's the playground just rolled into a field, back at our place it was fine, but several trailers were gone, next to trailer park were radio towers that all 3 were gone down the road. Most of the area was without power for 2 weeks but we had it the same day. It was interesting night for sure

I slept through Hurricane Hugo as a baby!

God in control of the weather he made it billions years ago

I was 4 going on 5 years old when Hugo hit Charleston in 89, surprised to say ima Hugo survival!

1:55:44 Is a Sad moment as this will not come back sadly tho this song starting i cant find nor create it.

I remember the eighties quite well. Big hair, big glasses, and shoulder pads. Good times.

My mom lived in Puerto Rico during Hugo. Luckily, her town wasn’t badly affected from what she told me

I turned ten on the 19th of that month

I believe Hugo was more dangerous than Katrina

Love my fellow Charlestonians accents. Yess!!! ❤❤❤

I can remember seeing the broken trees from this for years.

I was born in '93 but my mom was/is a amateur photographer and lab tech at Roper hospital in downtown charleston and has insane pictures from hugo (mostly in west ashley and down town charleston)... Boats in trees.. The national gaurd filling jugs of water for ppl without in parking lots .. Boarded up building with "looters will be shot" written on them.. And many more... Lots of them are gut wrenching

33:00 Dang! That bridge was literally torn loose and tilted sideways. If I would have first seen that bridge like that after Hurricane Hugo, my thoughts today would be winds sustained at no less than 350 mph with gusts topping 425 mph.

I had just turned 4 that September!

I was 4 years old when hurricane hugo hit South Carolina

Rob Fowler still works for WCBD Count On 2 News (formerly TV2 Action News). Amazing!
