Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mid-July 1916, the remnants of two hurricanes collided over western North Carolina, inundating the mountain region and the western Piedmont with historic rainfall. The result was catastrophic. Landslides wiped out whole families. Currents ripped babies from their parents' arms. Rivers washed away thousands of jobs. When the water finally receded, at least fifty lay dead, damages totaled in the millions of dollars, and a thick black sludge remained where crops once stood. One hundred years later, the storm remains one of the worst ever experienced in the Tar Heel State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picture this: It's 1916, you live in Western North Carolina, the 1st World War is still raging, and it's been raining heavily for ten days. You and your family have to leave your home to seek higher ground because the rain is not stopping. It keeps going higher and higher; the farther you walk, the higher the water gets, until it's up to your neck. And yet, this is not the worst. Even as you feel the water around your neck, and you struggle to move, you are unaware that the worst is yet to come. This is an inkling of what happened to the people of Western North Carolina in the flooding of 1916. What they experienced was a flood that redefined flooding as anyone had previously known it. A flooding that left destruction and death in its wake and an entire generation of survivors whose stories continue to live on. In this book, Bell gives a detailed narration of the flood, one that will leave you stunned and slightly doubting, if there wasn't sufficient evidence to back it up. This is the story of the 1916 North Carolina flood. Its beginning, its victims, its end, and its survivors.
