The county from the air

16 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 708 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 16 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
July 2012	Hail	Olar	30 hurt, $20,000	Public reported golfball size hail in the Olar area.
April 1983	Tornado (F3)	not stated	4 hurt, $2,500,000	no account filed
August 1994	Tornado (F1)	Govan to	1 hurt, $50,000	Tornado touched down near intersection of Highways 64 and 301, moved north northwest to slightly north of Govan. The tornado was up and down many times topping trees. One mobile home was overturned and heavily damaged.
May 2008	Hail	Olar	1 hurt	Law enforcement tennis ball size hail. Storm survey found many homes had damage to siding, windows, and roofs. Auto and home windows were broken. One woman was injured by flying glass in her auto. Holes were in siding. Vehicles were badly dented.

August 2007	Thunderstorm Wind	Ehrhardt	$2,500,000	Edisto Electric reported several trees down on powerlines in Ehrhardt.
January 2024	Tornado (EF2)	Bamberg	$1,800,000	A National Weather storm survey team confirmed an EF2 tornado, with peak winds of\|125 mph, in Bamberg SC. The tornado began 1.75 miles south of the City of Bamberg\|along US Hwy 601, near Cry Baby Road.\|\|Moving north, the tornado then proceeded to flip a mobile home and cause substantial\|EF2 damage to a barrel plant at the intersection of US Hwy 601 and US Hwy 301. Door\|and window failure contributed to the collapse of the middle section of the building\|and partial collapse of the front section. The collapsed portions of the building were\|tossed across Chevrolet St into a water tower.\|\|The tornado continued north-northeast along US-301 causing widespread EF1 roof and\|tree damage before moving into downtown Bamberg.\|\|As the tornado entered downtown Bamberg, it strengthened to EF2 intensity and\|caused substantial structural damage to a series of 2-3 story historic buildings just\|south of the intersection of US Hwy 78 and US Hwy 301. The newer roof section of a\|building on the west side of US Hwy 301 was thrown completely off onto the adjacent\|structure. There was a complete collapse of the upper stories of two buildings on the\|east side of US Hwy 301 with the corner torn off another. Preexisting missing portions\|of the roof and gaps in the exterior wall of the former City Hall likely contributed to its\|collapse due to wind intrusion. \|\|The tornado then moved north and quickly weakened as it crossed US Hwy 78 before\|dissipating 0.4 miles north of downtown Bamberg along US Hwy 301.\|\|The National Weather Service would like to thank wind engineers from the Insurance\|Institute for Business and Home Safety for their expertise assisting with surveying\|some of the structural damage.
