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.

This report documents the basic data that was collected on the storm that occurred over the Yadkin River watershed 5-7 Nov 1977 and on the subsequent flooding which followed. Most of the watershed lies in North Carolina. This report summarizes the hydrologic, economic and other data collected which were considered of significance and were readily available. Following the subsidence of flooding, a flood damage survey was made of the subject area. Subsequent office studies included an evaluation of flood damages and a brief hydrologic analysis. Data obtained through the flood damage survey were supplemented by and compared with the stage damage data derived for the 'Report on Development of water Resources in Appalachia' and for the Reddies River Lake Phase I General Design Memorandum. In addition to the flood damage assessment and presentation of they hydrologic data collected, an operation summary is also included of the W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir-- a Corps of Engineers multiple purpose project -- and the effect it had on flood conditions along the upper Yadkin River. Also included are the effects that the authorized Reddies and Roaring River Lake projects would have had on flood conditions had they been operational.
