Hurricane
Hugo On the night of September 21, 1989, Hurricane
Hugo struck the South Carolina Lowcountry. During that night
winds reached 135 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:

The ship was named for Vice Admiral J.R. Poinsett Pringle, USN,
who was born at Georgetown, SC in 1873, a direct lineal descendant
of Judge Robert Pringle, whose law offices on nearby Tradd Street
were established in 1742. Vice Admiral Pringle had been
selected by President Roosevelt to become Chief of Naval Operations
before his sudden death on September 25,
1932. |
