September 1998	Tornado (F2)	Moncks Corner	9 hurt, $2,800,000	Seventy-three (73) homes were damaged, fourteen mobile homes destroyed and seven (7) homes destroyed. The Fairlawn sobdivision, just southeast of Moncks corner was hardest hit.
April 2020	Tornado (EF3)	Moncks Corner	6 hurt	The 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. The tornado then dissipated near the intersection of Myrtle Lane and Wright Road. This tornado was part of a family of tornadoes that began more than 100 miles to the southwest, in Screven County, Georgia.
June 2000	Thunderstorm Wind	Moncks Corner	6 hurt	Pontoon boat capsized on Lake Moultrie. All six passengers were safely rescued.
August 2024	Tornado (EF1)	Moncks Corner	2 hurt	A 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.
