The passage of Hurricane Floyd through eastern North Carolina in September 1999 produced an epic flood that ranks as the most widespread, destructive, and deadly disaster in North Carolina's history. Six-six (of 100) counties were declared disaster areas, damage estimates exceeded $6 billion, and there were 52 fatalities. This collection of interviews provides a compelling record of the storm from those who endured it.
