It was a terrifying night in Georgetown, SC! A night I'll never forget! The aftermath......I can't even describe it.
Please do not refer to this as a Tornado, Hugo was a massive #4 Hurricane, not a cyclone twister. My Grandparents had a house in Myrtle Beach since 1920,my Grandmother said that the Yuppie Snow Birds ruined their peace and quiet. Her Dog and Cats were staring at the Ocean night after night. One cat stood at the window day and night. Grand mother began boarding up a week and a half before Hugo, her neighbors said that Hurricanes never bothered them, strutchures would withstand anything now. She had a huge stockpile of canned goods and water. She began freezing big blocks of ice. We went down in the motorhome and got her. She convinced her good friends next door to come with us to Charlotte 2 days before the mandatory evacuation,the were 80 and 81. Because of Grandma we were fine without power for a week and a half in Charlotte. People tried to break in the house and Dad fired warning shots in the air,they left. The Mayor was awful and turned a blind eye. It took forever to get Government help! My Grandmother said she could just feel a serous bad one comming. Her house was ok as well as the neighbors.
cant image what you went through im so sorry
thats looks like a war just hit there im just amaze that u all make it
My family's beach house was destroyed. We never rebuilt. And sadly, we haven't been back to the SC coast since. I miss my second home.
I got family in Andrew's. Jhon plair is my 2nd cousin
I got up and tried to go to work.
Going out the driveway a tree fell on my car and all the Windows exploded and crushed the roof.
I got out a back door and looked back at my trailer home. Two trees were Laying across the back end where the bedrooms were. So I started walking to work.
The rain was sideways, powerlines and trees everywhere, and the water was knee deep.
I got to a Citgo convenience store, the power was out and the phone service was out, but there was one person in the store. He heard me pounding on the door and came out of the back to let me in. When he opened the door it snatched it out of his hands and threw it across the parking lot. The wind was 90 mph sustained.
A cop in an explorer's saw it happen and came to help us to safety.
He got mad because I kept asking him to drop me off at work. Lol
He took us to a fire station instead.
The fire station wasn't far from my trailer so I walked on home. There was a school nearby and the whole roof was missing. It had been there when I walked to the store earlier. I remember a path through the forest where all the trees were missing.
I got home and laid on the couch and went back to sleep. I just knew I'd lost my job. Lol.
This was not on the coast. This was in Salisbury, NC. Close to Charlotte.
There were 150 tornadoes within a 50 mile radius of Charlotte.
Lol. We had no power anywhere for weeks and weeks.
My brother came over later, but most places you couldn't drive down the road for all the downed trees and powerlines. You had to wind through yards and around all the obstacles.
It looked like the Armageddon had occurred.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. (And for being such a good worker!)
Omg crazy but good story 👍
@@GeorgetownCountyLibr ,. At the time I worked for Southern States Coop. At a feed and grain market facility in Barbor, NC.
They take their business, the farmers and livestock needs, seriously.
You can't just take a day off, and ignore the care of animals, because of a storm. (Often that's when they need people the most.)
Southern States is a COOP.
Farms, and livestock needs are their business....
