If you lived in North Carolina 10 years ago, most likely you don't even like to hear the name "Floyd." "Floyd" is more than just the name of somebody's uncle, it conjures up memories you'd rather forget. When our family moved to North Carolina about three years ago we heard plenty of stories from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Wake Forest) students (and their families) who had to move in with off-campus families because they had no electricity.
Flooded homes and flooded cars...even lost lives. According to www.noaa.gov, "Damages are estimated to be $1.6 billion in Pitt County, North Carolina alone, and total storm damages have surpassed the $6 billion caused by Hurricane Fran in 1996."
But even as Hurricane Floyd brought devastating loss, it also brought North Carolinians together. Looking back at your own experience during Hurricane Floyd, how did someone go above and beyond to reach out to you? I'd love to hear your story!
