Hurricane Risks to South Carolina Homes & Offices
If you live in South Carolina, you should understand the risk of hurricanes. They not only threaten the coast but ALL areas of our state because hurricane damage can extend several hundred miles inland when the winds are strong enough. But how likely are you to be hit by one? Let's look at an eye-opening statistic:
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources has been tracking tropical systems since 1851 and their findings show that that South Carolina has had a 79.7% chance of being impacted by a tropical system every year even if the system does not track directly through the state. The agency studied the state's history of hurricanes over 169 years, from 1851 to 2020.
