This week marks the 25th anniversary of Hurricane Floyd, one of the deadliest hurricanes in North Carolina's history, which made landfall on September 16, 1999, causing catastrophic flooding after preceding storm Dennis had already saturated the region. The storm impacted many areas, particularly Franklin, Virginia, where 100 homes and nearly 150 businesses were damaged, leaving lasting memories of the devastating 12-foot floodwaters. In New Jersey, about 800 residents in Bound Brook were rescued as floodwaters surged, with shelters set up for those displaced. The National Guard assisted in providing water to residents in Edison affected by the loss of water services. Meteorologists recall the profound impact of Floyd, emphasizing its lasting legacy in the communities it affected. Special programming, such as 'Flood of the Century: 25 Years Later,' will commemorate the event and its effects on the region.
