  • The 1940 South Carolina hurricane was a Category 2 hurricane that struck the Georgia and South Carolina coast between August 11 and 12, 1940. After forming north of the Leeward Islands, the storm moved west-northwest, moving east of the Bahamas before resuming a west-northwest track towards the Southeastern United States. Hurricane warnings were in effect for the United States coastline near and north of where the center made landfall. A 13-foot storm tide was measured along the South Carolina coast, while over 15 inches (380 mm) of rain fell across northern North Carolina. Significant flooding and landslides struck Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia during the system's slow trek as a weakening tropical storm, and then as an extratropical cyclone, through the Southeast. The landslides which struck North Carolina were considered a once in a century event. Damages relating to the storm totaled $13 million (1940 USD) and 50 people perished. (en)
  • 1940年南卡罗莱纳飓风（英語：1940 South Carolina hurricane）是1940年8月11至12日袭击乔治亚州和南卡罗莱纳州沿海地区的二级飓风。气旋在背风群岛北面成型并向西北偏西移动，从巴哈马东侧经过后继续向西北偏西逼近美国东南部。风暴中心登陆美国，登陆点附近及北侧沿海地区预先收到飓风警告。南卡罗莱纳州海岸沿线测得约4米的风暴潮，北卡罗莱纳州北部降雨量普遍在380毫米以上。气旋向东南面缓慢移动，在此期间逐渐减弱，之后转变成温带气旋，乔治亚州、南卡罗莱纳州、田纳西州和弗吉尼亚州发生重大洪灾和山体滑坡。北卡罗莱纳州发生的山体滑坡属百年一遇水平，整场飓风一共造成50人遇难，损失总额达到1300万美元。 (zh)
