Yes I agree with you.....Hugo was in 1989 and since that time no Cat. 3 or higher tropical system has hit the South Carolina coast.

Yet from my knowledge dating back to 1851 when records started being kept, only 4 Cat. 3 hurricanes have hit the SC coast.....and 2 Cat. 4 hurricanes.

However this has now changed as Hurricane Gracie of 1959 has been upgraded from a Cat. 3 hurricane to a Cat. 4. So this changes the numbers somewhat to 3 Cat. 3 and 3 Cat. 4 hurricanes.

I was simply making the point that devastation can come in many forms....and here in SC last October with the indirect effects of Joaquin is a prime example....as well as LA at present.

Here is a link to Hurricane Gracie being upgraded.
