To many North Carolinians, the flood that followed Hurricane Floyd was \"the\" flood. However, there have been other floods, and the one in 1916 was one of the most devastating. Twenty-two inches of rain fell over the western mountains in twenty-four hours in July. Eighty people were killed, and property damages were almost $23 million.
