Hurricane Hugo is the storm all others are compared to in South Carolina. On its 35th anniversary, here's what people recall about the Category 4 disaster.

Hugo originated as a cluster of storms off the coast of Africa on September 10th, 1989. The storm became a hurricane just three days later on September 13th. The storm did become a category 5 storm east of the Leeward Islands on September 15 but weakened into a category 4 storm when making landfall across the U.
