The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
The two tornadoes that occurred in Allendale County were associated with the remnants of T.S. Helene as it moved across Georgia and South Carolina. Heavy rain developed across Berkeley County during the early morning hours of 9/22/00 and caused flooding over the northern half of the county, especially in and around Moncks Corner. The 42 year-old female was killed when she hit a puddle of water and hydroplaned. She hit a pine tree head on and was killed on impact.
The national radar mosaic for the moment the first event began.
2 flash flood, 2 tornado. Local standard time, as filed.
Water across roads and a couple of inches of water in eight homes.
Damage to a tin roof on a frame home, a hog feeder damaged, minor damage to several brick homes and several trees down.
Fatality occurred in a camper that was one of 10 other campers at a hunt club. The camper was the second one in the line and it appeared to have disintegrated. One of the other campers was turned on its side while the others remained upright, for the most part. Also, there were three mobile homes destroyed, major damage to two mobile homes, minor damage to six mobile homes and major damage to a frame home along with numerous trees down or snapped 10 to 15 feet above the ground. This tornado continued into Barnwell County in WFO Columbia's CWA.
Northern Berkeley County, which had flooded around noon on 9/22/00, received additional rainfall after midnight on 9/23/00. Additional flooding resulted with water across roads, and water seeping into homes.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
