Whirlwind Strikes South Carolina Coast

August 27 a whirlwind swept over the coast region of South Carolina, snuffing out five lives, and property to the value of more than one million dollars in Charleston and its immediate vicinity. Its velocity was ninety-five miles an hour. Great damage was done to shipping. Ten small steamers and schooners were sunk in Charleston harbor. Telephone and telegraph wires were put out of commission, and the city was submerged in total darkness.
