Hurricane Floyd was the worst natural disaster in the history of North Carolina. Two weeks after Hurricane Dennis dropped ten inches of rain, Floyd dropped another 26 inches on September 15 and 16, 1999. Severe flooding resulted, with damages reaching $6 billion, 60,000 homes flooded, and fifty-two deaths. The authors interviewed over fifty people in seventeen counties for their book, \"Faces From the Flood: Hurricane Floyd Remembered.\" Excerpts are presented in the article.

Abstract:
The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum will reflect, when completed in 2004, the heritage of coastal Carolina and maritime history represented by the shipwrecks. Couch says, “It will put North Carolina in league with the maritime history heavyweights.†Located at Hatteras Village, the 19,000-square-foot climate-controlled facility is designed to withstand sustained winds of 135 mph and gusts of 200 mph. The museum has an amazing quantity of extraordinary relics connected to momentous events in history. Even more stunning is that many of these artifacts have landed on the Outer Banks from halfway round the world and from over 2,000 years ago. The artifacts will be showcased in five museum galleries, including the Piracy & Warfare Gallery and the Civil War Gallery.
