Adams Run, the town this property stands in, in 17 storm reports between 1999 and 2022: 14 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado, 1 hail, 1 funnel cloud.
The reports record 1 injury. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A tornado touched down along Willtown road near Minnie Hughs Elementary School and then tracked east crossing Highway 174 just north of the intersection with Moffett Road. The tornado then moved through a farm before moving across Toogoodoo road near the intersection of Oakville Road and then lifted in a marshy area near Toogoodoo creek. Numerous trees, large limbs, and power lines were damaged along the path and one house partially collapsed due to the tornado.
Law Enforcement reported a tree down at the intersection of Mauss Hill Road and Moon Dam Road. A second tree was reported down at the intersection of State Highways 162 and 174.
Charleston County dispatch reported a tree down on Highway 162 near the intersection with Highway 174. Highway 162 had to be closed for a time due to the tree in the roadway.
