Abstract:
Many of North Carolina’s historic sites saw major damage from Hurricanes Bertha on July 12 and Fran on September 5-6, 1996. While Fort Fisher saw little more than the usual amount of erosion and a sand/debris covered highway due to the newly erected riparian wall, other sites experienced a massive amount of toppled trees and damage to facilities and historic buildings. While most of the NC government offices in Raleigh were closed in the week after, NC State Historic Preservation Office personnel were working to contact preservation officials in all 54 counties in the declared disaster area.
