- Hurricane Floyd struck North Carolina on Sept. 16, 1999, just 10 days after Tropical Storm Dennis dumped 6 to 16 inches of rain across the eastern part of the state.
Ten years later, many communities affected by the devastating floods still haven't fully recovered.
Hosted by WRAL News' Bill Leslie, “Floyd” looks back at North Carolina's worst natural disaster in modern history and revisits some of those communities hit hardest. The documentary also examines the storm’s lasting impact, advances in flood mapping, emergency response and other measures that have been taken to help the state better prepare for future floods.
I was in bethel when this happen, I was 5 years old riding on a little boat with my sister, my dad and uncle dragged the boat all the way to my aunts in Greenville
Hey! I was also 5 and lived in Greenville when it happened!! It was insane!
Goodness ...prayers forever!♡
Glad most of the hogs were saved; I think some of the Smithfield hogs during Hurricane Florence in 2018 didn’t make it :(. The elderly from the coastal Nc area told me that Florence was nothing compared to Floyd and Hazel.
Everyone thought this would be the worst it could get. Right? Wait until 6 years later and it would get much MUCH worse.
And it will happen again And again
Nope we weren't better prepared there was this place outside of Wallace called river landing it's a very rich gated community built it right next to the river after Floyd 🤦
As Debbie comes up the coast and we could very easily see this again, my 1st thoughts are for all who suffer from natural disasters. My second thought is the amount of money we have spent and are currently spending on housing/feeding/ free medical for illegal immigrants. That $ could/ should be spent to help solve our existing and future problems. Sorry, for the political comment. But, as my small house I rent is getting ready to flood as they say it has in the past I watch the latino crews I compete against driving the new trucks and leaving food stores with shopping cats full of food. I wonder what the women who wanted to stay in her home town, is driving or how much food she can afford. I know the town, they get hit very hard. Did bless all in low-lying areas.
Haven't heard this story yet
i didnt even eisted when floyd struck
Im about 8 mins from there and a walmart right down from river landing
