On September 16, 1999, rainfall from Hurricane Floyd swelled North
Carolina's rivers, flooding tens of thousands of homes, businesses,
and communities across the eastern third of the state; taking 52
lives; and causing an estimated $6 billion in damages. "Faces from
the Flood" is a compelling look back at the state's most
destructive natural disaster, conveyed through the words of those
who endured it.
Thirty-seven interviews with victims, heroes, volunteers,
scientists, and government officials offer tales of dramatic
rescues, sorrowful losses, and the quiet determination to survive
and rebuild. The story of Floyd is far from over, and North
Carolinians must be prepared to face similar storms in the future,
warn Richard Moore and Jay Barnes. They conclude with an assessment
of the state's response to Floyd and a discussion of what programs
should be initiated, maintained, or strengthened to prepare for
future storms.
Through evocative personal stories, maps, tables, and dozens of
striking photographs, "Faces from the Flood" highlights the
dramatic impact of Hurricane Floyd. It will serve as a valuable
reference for future explorations of North Carolina's greatest
disaster.
