Hurricane Hugo Anniversary Special [Encore]

On this 35th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo's landfall in the Carolinas, we revisit our 2019 special marking the then-30th anniversary of the Category 4 storm. Within hours, Hugo was ripping through the South Carolina midlands and into parts of western North Carolina, including Charlotte. In this special episode, we look at Hugo's lasting effect on our communities - - and your personal stories of surviving Hurricane Hugo. Hear personal stories from broadcast meteorologists Eric Thomas, Rob Fowler and Larry Sprinke, all of who covered the storm on television in Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Charlotte. See historical footage from the South Carolina Education Television (SCETV) archives. See images and videos from 1989 showing the impact of Hurricane Hugo in both North Carolina and South Carolina. The Carolina Weather Group podcast delivers a historical look back at this unforgettable piece of weather history.
