On the night of September 21, 1989, Hurricane Hugo struck the South Carolina Lowcountry. During that night winds reached 125 miles per hour and a storm surge of 15 feet swept over nearby McClellanville. The eye of Hugo passed over Charleston at midnight.
This devastating hurricane caused more than six billion dollars damage in South Carolina and left thousands homeless.
The greatest cost was the twenty-six lives lost to the storm and its aftermath.
This plaque is dedicated to their memory.
