Photographs from libraries nationwide

6 of 7 shown

Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 7 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

The county from the air

48 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 5,389 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 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.

April 2020Tornado (EF3)Moncks Corner6 hurtThe National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed an EF-3 tornado with an estimated maximum wind speed of 145 mph just east of Moncks Corner, South Carolina. The tornado began in the Fairlawn Subdivision, just east of Moncks Corner. Several homes had significant damage along Old Fort Road and Dennis Boulevard. There was a home at the east end of Dennis Boulevard that had significant damage to justify the EF-3 tornado rating. There was also extensive snapping and uprooting of trees, as well as vehicle and trailer damage in the area. The tornado moved east-southeast, generally down Dennis Boulevard, then east across the west branch of the Cooper River, before turning east-northeast across South Carolina 402 and Cane Gully Road. At this location, a mobile home was completely destroyed and several other homes and structures sustained significant damage. The tornado then continued east-northeast snapping and uprooting trees, with significant damage to at least one home off of Myrtle Lane, and minor roof and siding damage to approximately four additional homes just south of Bullhead Road.

August 2024Tornado (EF1)Moncks Corner2 hurtA National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed an EF1 tornado with an estimated maximum wind speed of 95 mph in Moncks Corner, South Carolina occurring from 153 AM to 200 AM EST.||The tornado, which originated in an outer rainband associated with Tropical Storm Debby, touched down just east of McCormick Circle, snapping two trees in the woods behind an Applebee's. The tornado then moved northwest, causing damage to the Applebee's sign and then turned west, flipping vehicles that led to 2 minor injuries. The tornado then continued on a west track, impacting an Arby's. This was the location of the strongest damage as numerous windows were blown out at the Arby's on both the west and east-facing sides of the building. The rooftop A/C was also blown into the Arby's parking lot. However, no other structural damage was noted and therefore the degree of damage was kept near the middle of the expected wind speed, or at 95 mph. The Walmart Supercenter to the northwest of Arby's also sustained some very minor roof fascia damage, which was starting to peel off from the main structure. The tornado then continued to move northwest and passed Mitton Road, where several trees were uprooted with a few branches greater than 3 inches in diameter broken. There was also a residence on Mitton Road that had roof damage to less than 20% of the structure. The tornado then moved northwest and weakened as it crossed Kitfield Road, where some branches (mostly 1-3 in diameter) were broken. There were also branches (1-3 in diameter) snapped northwest of this location on Lois Circle and Broughton Road. The tornado then continued a path northwest, before dissipating on the northern end of the Pinopolis Peninsula along the south end of Lake Moultrie.

June 2024Thunderstorm WindLadson1 hurtA National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed straight-line thunderstorm wind damage with an estimated maximum wind speed of 80 to 85 mph along a path approximately 8.75 miles long and 3.5 miles wide beginning in east-central Dorchester County at 642 PM, then tracking across extreme western Charleston County starting at 645 PM, before ending across west-central Berkeley County at 658 PM.||In Berkeley County, the survey team found isolated to scattered damage, most of which consisted of large softwood trees snapped and uprooted and some hardwood tree limbs snapped across eastern portions of Summerville to around Main Street on the north side of Sangaree and south across Ladson and into the College Park area, ending as far east as Highway 176. One area of extensive damage occurred around Wisteria Street and the Tall Pines Neighborhood along Interstate 26 on the north side of Ladson. Within this area, both soft and hardwood trees were observed to have snapped near the trunks, several of which fell on residences and vehicles. Additionally, some minor damage to residential property was observed, including shingles and siding blown off and privacy fences blown down. The path of damage continued east-northeastward from the Tall Pines Neighborhood where a tree was reported down on a vehicle along with damage to a fence and siding in the Hunter's Bend Neighborhood before the path of damage continued across much of the College Park area. A Berkeley County emergency manager indicated at least 28 homes damaged by falling trees in the College Park vicinity and a pole barn significantly damaged along Cindy Drive. One female was reported injured when a tree fell on her residence on College Park Drive. Emergency management also reported at least 18 additional downed trees and power lines in the area not directly impacting homes. The damage path then continued east-northward across Fairfax and Oakbrook Neighborhoods where a Berkeley County emergency manager indicated numerous trees down on roadways, homes and cars, before the damage path ended near Highway 176 at 658 PM. Based on the uniform damage direction (north to northeast), a strong downburst producing straight-line winds was determined to be the cause of the event.
