Wilson’s World Homeschool: Looking Back on Hurricane Hugo with Zach the Historian

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  Most of the homeschool lessons we receive from Zach Lemhouse, a.k.a. Zach the Historian,  from the Historical Center of York County are about things that took place over a hundred years ago.  But today, he takes us back 31 years to September 21, 1989. That was the date that Hurricane Hugo, one of the costliest hurricanes to hit the Carolinas and at the time one of the strongest to ever hit the United States.  Hugo came through Charlotte the next day with winds up to 80 miles an hour.  Over 85% of the city was without power.
