Abstract:
Hurricane Floyd crossed eastern North Carolina in September 1999, causing the largest disaster in the state's history. The majority of the damage was caused by flooding associated with heavy rainfall rather than by high winds or coastal erosion. There are a number of physical features of eastern North Carolina that contributed to making this flood so severe. When these features/factors come together in a unique way, extreme events such as the flooding from Hurricane Floyd occur.

Abstract:
The environmental impact of hurricanes Matthew and Floyd are compared. Floyd cost more than 11.3 billion dollars in 2017 dollars, more than triple Matthew’s losses. Floyd destroyed $1.1 billion in crops, livestock, and farm buildings versus $544 million because of Matthew. While the losses from 2016’s Matthew were not as bad as 1999’s Floyd, problems still exist especially concerning the state’s hog industry, water and sewer systems, and poultry industry.

Abstract:
North Carolina experienced a string of debilitating natural disasters over a five-year period beginning with Hurricane Floyd in 1999, and the response to some of these crises is still ongoing in many places. Government leaders and industries are cooperating to try to fix the policy and planning failures that exacerbated damages. Revised, comprehensive floodplain mapping is one of the preventative actions that emerged as a direct result of Hurricane Floyd.

Abstract:
Though focusing on the isolating impact of a recent hurricane on Ocracoke, the state's experience with Hurricane Dorian taught the author any area might become solitary in the midst of floodwaters. It also prompted her to pose the question to all North Carolina communities, townships, and neighborhoods: do you have a survival plan in place, in the event of weather-generated isolation from local, regional, and state resources?
