Notable places damaged by Hurricane Matthew

As Hurricane Matthew plodded up the South Carolina coast Saturday afternoon, folks in the Lowcountry began to take stock of the mess the storm left behind.

Many notable landmarks, including piers, docks, and main thoroughfares, were either washed away or submerged in water. Here's what we've been able to gather based on news reports and social media posts.

Hilton Head Island

-Most of Palmetto Bay Marina, the oldest marina on the island, appeared to be underwater. "It looks like it is gone," said Capt. Bob Bromage of the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office. Bromage said he has seen a photo of several boats that appear to be stacked on a piling. He stressed that Beaufort County officials are just starting to do damage assessments and that he had not personally visited the marina.

-The first row of dunes were gone from Singleton Beach. The piers at Wexford Plantation Homes had vanished, and boats were tossed around like Legos. Port Royal Plantation was submerged in water. Harbourtown resembled a debris field.

Edisto Island

-The island's main drag, Palmetto Boulevard, was under 3 to 5 feet of water, the town's mayor, Jan Darby, said in a Facebook post. State 174, which leads to Edisto Beach, was impassible, and trees and wires were strewn everywhere, according to Darby.

Pawleys Island

Portions of a pier were blown away.

Daufuskie Island

-Haig Point was heavily damaged, but the main dock going down to the ferries on Daufuskie is still intact, according to the community's Facebook page. "The finger dock going down to the water taxi loading is gone. The community dock walkway is in place but the community floating docks are gone."

Surfside Beach

-Over 50 feet of pier on Surfside Beach was swept away.

Myrtle Beach

-Storm surge ripped apart Springmaid Pier, washing the longest pier on the Grand Strand away Saturday, the Sun News reported.

-Pirateland Family Camping Resort was completely flooded. Transformers were underwater, and many area roads were closed, the campground said in a Facebook post.

North Myrtle Beach

-Sea Mountain Highway was no longer passable by motor vehicle, and entry into Cherry Grove is no longer possible, the city of North Myrtle Beach said in a Facebook post. Several other roads were also underwater.

Murrells Inlet

Seawaters surged over the Marshwalk, ripping up wood planks along the pier.

Charleston

-Flooding was widespread in low-lying parts of the city. The water was waist deep near the King Street market. Sidewalks along the Battery were completely covered.
