Abstract:
Three devastating floods struck Western North Carolina in the years 1916, 1940, and 1971. The most severe was the flood of 1916. Forty-one continuous hours of rainfall on July 15 and 16 inundated the area. Damage included nine railroad bridges swept away on the Catawba River; 895 miles of track destroyed or put out of service; and homes, factories, and fields washed away.
