Podcasts about Hurricane Floyd

When it comes to the chances another Helene-like storm could hit the Carolinas in the future, it's really a matter of when and not if. Could it be in another 100 years? Another 500 years? Another 1,000 years? Or could a changing climate dramatically increase the reoccurrence of these events? This week on the Carolina Weather Group, Corey Davis, the assistant state climatologist for North Carolina, explains why a 1-in-1000-year event like Helene could happen again much sooner. The widespread flooding washing over – and washing out – towns and roadways after Helene was uncomfortably similar to the scenes in eastern North Carolina following Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018. And once again, the major city in the region – Wilmington then, Asheville now – had its interstate connections severed by the flooding. In addition to those similar impacts, one way of comparing events on opposite ends of the state is using rainfall return intervals, which frame a specific amount over a certain duration as the likelihood of occurring in any given year, such a 1-in-100 year event, with a 1% chance of occurring. While imperfect due to its lack of recent updates, the most comprehensive return frequency data comes from NOAA's Atlas 14 product. That showed totals from Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight earlier this summer as roughly 1-in-500 year events, with the totals in excess of 30 inches during Florence classified as worse than 1-in-1000 year events. Helene's daily rainfall total of 11.89 inches in Celo equals the 1-in-500 year total per Atlas 14. In Asheville, the three-day total of almost 14 inches goes well beyond the 1-in-1000 year total for a 72-hour period, which Atlas 14 cites as 11.4 inches. Likewise, the 24.41 inches over three days at Mount Mitchell is off the charts compared to the noted 1-in-1000 year amount of 16.5 inches. Yet another event of this magnitude within the state offers even more evidence that our climate is changing, and in extreme ways. The rapid intensification of Helene over the Gulf, the amount of moisture available in its surrounding environment, and its manifestation as locally heavy – and in some cases, historically unheard of – rainfall amounts are all known side effects of a warmer atmosphere.

In 1999, she saved a couple from flooding after Hurricane Floyd. In 2002, she joined the Army so she could serve her country after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2006, she vanished. On October 10, 2006, 29-year-old Margaret Haddican-McEnroe was a mother of three girls, including a 6-month-old, when she allegedly walked out of her Warren, New Jersey home, leaving behind her cell phone, car, and her baby, never to be seen again. According to her husband, Margaret was dealing with post-partum depression at the time, and had previously threatened suicide. But after 18 years with no sign of Margaret, those closest to her don't believe that she went missing on her own. Anyone with information regarding Margaret Haddican-McEnroe's disappearance is urged to contact the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office at 908-231-7100 or through the CrimeStoppers TIPS line at 1-888-577-TIPS.Buy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/and-then-they-were-gone--5360779/support.

fWotD Episode 2515: Eye (Alexander McQueen collection) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Sunday, 24 March 2024 is Eye (Alexander McQueen collection).Eye (Spring/Summer 2000) was the fifteenth collection by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house. It was inspired by the culture of the Middle East, particularly Islamic clothing, as well as the oppression of women in Islamic culture and their resistance to it. The collection crossed traditional Middle Eastern garments with elements drawn from Western fashion such as sportswear and fetishwear. Jeweller and frequent McQueen collaborator Shaun Leane provided the collection's best-known design: a yashmak made from chainmail.The runway show for Eye was staged at Pier 94 on 16 September 1999, during New York Fashion Week. In the days leading up to the runway show, Hurricane Floyd was threatening New York City, and although numerous other designers cancelled shows, McQueen decided to go ahead with Eye. Despite the weather, more than 1,000 guests attended. The show was presented on a runway flooded with several inches of water, dyed black to resemble oil. Sixty-eight looks were presented in the main show, after which a bed of nails rose up from the water on the floor for the show's finale. Strobe lighting played while acrobats dressed in robes descended from the ceiling suspended from wires. When McQueen walked out for his final bow, he dropped his trousers to display boxer shorts styled to look like the American flag.Critical response to Eye was mixed. While some reviewers enjoyed the theatrical approach, others found that it overwhelmed the clothing. Many critics found that the designs lacked innovation. The frock coats and dresses were consistently deemed the strongest part of the collection. Critical analysis has typically interpreted Eye as a statement about the contrast between the sexual and political values of the Western world and the Middle East. Accessories from Eye appeared at both stagings of the retrospective exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, and clothing from the collection appeared in the 2022 exhibition Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Sunday, 24 March 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Eye (Alexander McQueen collection) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Brian Neural.

In this episode of the American Shoreline Podcast, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham dive deep into the unique intersection of oral history and environmental change. Special guest Tara Hinton, a rising junior at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, shares her pioneering work, mining archives for oral histories at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center. These histories, some of which date back decades, offer invaluable insights into the environmental shifts observed by communities over time, especially in the wake of events like Hurricane Floyd. To deepen the discussion, the hosts also welcome back a friend of the podcast, Dr. Rob Young, Director of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines at Western Carolina University. Together, they explore how these narratives can shape our understanding of climate change, inform policy, and reveal the resilient spirit of coastal communities.

In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Jerry Hoover USCG RS 104.  I was able to spend the first four months of my Rescue Swimmer career with Jerry in Elizabeth City, NC.  Prior to school, while I was an Airman at the shop, Jerry was one of the guys that helped prepare me for Rescue Swimmer School.  We talked about his very first rescue out of New Orleans, which just so happened to be the very first rescue made by a Rescue Swimmer in New Orleans.  This case involved a call out for an overdue boat in Lake Pontchartrain which turned out to be people in the water. Next, we talk about two Air Medals that he earned while he was in the USCG.  The first Air Medal was for Hurricane Floyd relief efforts that affected eastern North Carolina.  His second Air Medal was for his Hurricane Katrina relief in New Orleans.  We finished off our talk with a rescue he wrote about in his book, Brotherhood of the Fin. For Jerry, this was personally his ‘biggest' rescue that he had while he was in the USCG.  This one didn't come with any awards or write-ups, just a tough case that sticks in his memory.

Bio for Mr. Jack Bushong Jr. Jack Bushong received his degree in Meteorology at Florida State University in 1988. He trained for Television weathercasting the following year but was recruited by the National Weather Service (NWS) which is a Federal Agency and a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). His first NWS office was near his hometown of Muskegon, MI, in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he had extensive training in Surface Weather Observations, Weather Forecasting and the issuance of Severe Weather Warnings to the public. Mr. Bushong, also, received training in Pilot Weather Briefings. In 1991, Mr. Bushong transferred to his hometown at the NWS Office in Muskegon. NWS Muskegon was a weather radar site where he received extensive weather radar training in order to be on shift alone. The NWS was undergoing the most ambitious modernization and restructuring program through the early 1990s where the new NWS Doppler Radar would become a major part of all NWS offices across the country. In 1994, Mr. Bushong was transferred with promotion to the NWS Southeast River Forecast Center (SERFC) in Atlanta, GA. The SERFC has responsibility for all river forecasting and river flooding forecasts across the Southeastern US and Puerto Rico. Mr. Bushong worked alongside hydrologists as a meteorologist where he produced rainfall forecasts for river forecasting models. He also was trained in river forecasting and Hydrology as well. One important duty for the SERFC by Mr. Bushong was to calibrate radar precipitation estimates based on ground-based rain gauges. Under his large area of responsibility, Mr. Bushong needed to have an enormous amount of training and knowledge of how weather radars work. Across the Southeast USA, 35 NWS radars are used in a mosaic and calibrated with over 2000 rain gauges. Mr. Bushong has a great interest in computer programming and web page development. From the beginning of the Internet age, Mr. Bushong produced the first web page for the SERFC and remained webmaster until his retirement. Mr. Bushong also used his programming skills to produce graphics from the text products the NWS produced at the time by mapping river conditions and forecasts. Mr. Bushong was the first webmaster across the NWS to create graphs (Hydrographs), in real-time, depicting river and flood forecasts to make radar forecasts easier to read for customers such as FEMA. In fact, Mr. Bushong received the Regional Director's Award along with a cash bonus for not only a near perfect rain forecast for Hurricane Floyd in 1999, but also rushed to complete the programming to display hydrographs as requested by FEMA. Hurricane Floyd resulted in the worst flooding in North Carolina history. NWS Headquarters decided to use Mr. Bushong's examples of new web products for their creation of the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction System (AHPS). Mr. Bushong was also on the NWS team which brough real time NWS radar images to the web. After retirement from the NWS in 2016, Mr. Bushong kept his interest in computers and programming. Other interests include Photography, Drone Photography and 3D Printing, and playing Flight Simulator in his spare time. Mr. Bushong has been a big fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator since 1993, fulfilling his strong interest in aircraft.

Hannah revisits a formative event when devastating hurricanes passed through her hometown, and realizes that the impact was not felt equally across the community. 

The story begins with the Peace Corps. Nhu, a native of Vietnam, was volunteering in Kingston, Jamaica. Craig was part of Peace Corps Jamaica’s administrative staff. They both have a passion for education and believe that education changes lives. Hurricane Floyd brought them together, as Craig visited Nhu presumably to bring her supplies, but actually to ask her out! They lived in Jamaica for years, but Nhu longed to move back to the Pacific Northwest and they landed in Portland, Oregon. The move was difficult for Craig at first, so Nhu would shop for all the Jamaican items she could find locally so Craig could have a piece of his homeland. But it was difficult to find spices and rubs, so they started to make their own. When they had parties, they served their Jamaican dishes and friends and family raved about it. But Craig and Nhu realized there was a difference between pleasing friends and family and selling to the public so ventured carefully into the business of selling their Jerk dishes and the spices that flavor them. Jerk has been a part of Jamaica’s culinary tradition for centuries and is a way of cooking pork, chicken, seafood, beef and vegetables. The taste of Jerk best exemplifies Jamaica and the Jamaican people; spicy and hot, yet sweet! Jerk rubs are typically hot with scotch bonnet peppers (habaneros). The couple sells their dishes from a popular food cart and sell their spices there and online to encourage others to cook authentic Jamaican dishes at home. That is their way of educating others to the joys of Jamaican hospitality and food. And the name Fi Mi Kingston? It’s a slogan from the patios (pronounced “pat-wa”) dialect spoken in Jamaica. Fi Mi means “my” and it is the warm way of saying “My Kingston.”

Hurricane Floyd prevents this week's edition of Thunder. So instead we dicuss the world title picture over the past few months. It's not fun, but we have a goal to watch and review every week and we make it happen.

Welcome to The Leading Voices in Food Podcast, an educational series produced by the World Food Policy Center at Duke University. I'm Deborah Hill. You're listening to a segment in our Voice of Farming series. In North Carolina's coastal plain, hurricanes and flooding are a part of life as much as country fairs and sweet tea. On the way to Goldsboro, an agricultural town a little more than 50 miles from North Carolina's capital city of Raleigh, billboards advertise canned boiled peanuts, pork outlet stores and sporting goods. It's the kind of place where weather conditions are top of mind, and the weather channel plays on a big screen TV at the local Bojangles restaurant. I'm talking today with Bob Ivy and his daughter, Marlowe Vaughn, owners of Razorback Farms in Goldsboro where they raise pigs as a contractor for Maxwell Farms. Ivy and Vaughn closely follow the news, debates, and lawsuits over pig manure lagoons, odors, and water safety concerns, and they welcomed the opportunity to talk about their own farm operations, and they believe in the value of open communications. Good thing that now, there's so much technology as far as flood levels and all that. And one of the big things that farmers do when there's a big storm, is the sites where they can see where the rain is occurring, and what's happening with the Neuse or the Cape Fear. And they have these monitoring stations up and down the river. And actually I've got it in my phone, based on where that flood crests, you can know which roads are going to be flooded, and how it's going to impact your farm and those types of things. The integrator that Marlowe uses actually, in some cases, has moved pigs out, sold them early, in preparation for an event. And I know of two farms that they were worried about in they actually depopulated the farm before the event. Can't always do that, but you know which farms are or may be a little more risky, based on the weather reports, and I think everybody is very proactive on that. The other thing is teamwork. And teamwork sometimes just involves the integrator and the contractor, but there's a lot of teamwork with the state, state veterinarians. They get on the phone and talk with the integrators as far as, "What do you need? Where do you need it? Do you need generators?" If you have a mortality issue, they're willing to work with you at landfills and stuff to properly dispose of animals if there was something that was to occur. And usually the integrator is involved in an update, in that discussion, they're reporting that to these government agencies. And I've participated in a lot of those, and find it very interesting that you talk about, "Well we've had flooding, but no mortality." And then you hear on the news and you hear these elaborate stories about something really bad happening, and it's just doesn't match up with the facts that's been reported. And everybody's on that call, and so you really need to go and listen to those agencies. They're well-informed, they're kept updated, and they participate in trying to find solution for people that's having problems or are in trouble. So, it takes a lot of teamwork when you have a storm event. Preparing to mitigate or prevent environmental and public health impacts caused by hurricanes and tropical storm events is a year round collaboration for swine farmers, pork packing and processing companies, veterinarians, and state officials at the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources. In North Carolina, hog producers have to have state permits, approved hog manure management plans, and log books detailing how many times they fertilize using hog manure. One of the big things that Marlowe is doing is she's preparing for a hurricane. She's been preparing for that since the spring. And so, there's times during the year when when you can't pump your lagoon, because there's no crop growing or those types of things. So that's heavily regulated. But when she can apply the nutrients from the manure to the fields and the crops, they have a level in the lagoon that it has to be reported to the integrator every week. The lagoon is designed so that it has a 24 hour storm event, on being sure that that's maintained in case you have a hurricane or those type things. And during the pumping season, she used to actually pump that lagoon down to the stop pump level. So, the farmers here in Eastern North Carolina are very comfortable in managing their lagoons, because we've had a lot of hurricanes, and so they're on top of their games. Getting ready, having that preparedness. Just like any other industry. In 1999, North Carolina was overwhelmed with rain from Hurricane Floyd and Hurricane Dennis. According to the National Hog Farmer, it was the country's worst weather disaster in 500 years. At the time, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture estimated 28,000 hogs of all ages had perished in the flood. The memory of that year stays with state regulators and pig farmers who work to minimize the risk of hog deaths and hog manure lagoon pollution in the future. We've learned so much, I mean, since Floyd hit in '99. It's going to be the 20 year anniversary this year, in September. So I think it's really important to understand how far we've come as an industry since we learned from that flooding system. We've had two farms, and I'm 34 years old now, and in a '99 I was 14. I don't think I really... All I really understood about that hurricane system and our farms is that my dad was gone for about a month and I was out of school for a couple of weeks. Now, being a modern farmer and getting so involved with the industry that I am now today, I've seen the growth and the transition and what these farmers do to prepare for farms. You know, we're preparing all year, and during a system, most farmers I know are sleeping on their farms. You know, when we're having a flooding system or know that something might be happening, command center where everybody knows what's going on. We're bringing in extra feed, we're getting our farms prepared. It's not something that we take lightly as farmers, and it's very important for us, not just for our farms, but for the environment. That's an important part of the future. I'm not doing this because I'm a fourth generation farmer. I'm doing this for my family, to pass it down to them, so maybe one day I'll have a fifth generation farmer if they wanted to get involved in the ag industry. I'm doing this for the future, in the future, not only for my family, but for the consumer. The other big thing about some of the farms is that conditions have changed a whole lot. There's been a bypass built around Goldsboro that blocks the Neuse River flood plain, and it causes some issues. And you can ride from Goldsboro to Raleigh and there's houses going up everywhere and there's roads going in, and all that impervious surface creates a lot more flooding. We have to have riparian buffers and those type things on our farm. But really, the urbanization and the growth from Raleigh and the adjacent towns, it has really caused a lot more flooding events when you do have a storm. And so you have to be ready for that too. And as an industry, typically what we see is not overtopping from the rain, but inundation from this flooding. In fact, the facilities were designed, and then because of all of this urbanization and all this runoff, suddenly farm that 20 years ago we're perfectly okay, now that they see a impact of waters actually running into the lagoons. And fortunately, we've had some really good programs in North Carolina, and a lot of those farms have participated with the government in those programs. And they have either enhanced their systems, or they have allowed them to be bought out. Like at the last hurricane, you hear a lot about pig mortality, or farmers flooding and all that, and they do flood. But typically it's the roads, and those type things, and the lagoons get inundated. Very few in the last storm actually overtopped. I think it's just a handful. And a lot of the ones that are in these sensitive areas now are looking at on moving those farms, and working with the government to have a buyout. Unfortunately, North Carolina has a moratorium, and we haven't been permitted to build a farm since 1996. That's when the moratorium started. So I find it very funny and very interesting that people, attack our industry in North Carolina when we haven't really been able to do anything but rebuild or improve the facilities on the sites that have been permitted because of this moratorium. Which is unfortunate, because a lot of people would probably move their farms as conditions change, if they were allowed to. And so it really interferes with, in my opinion, some good management practices that people could take advantage of in moving a farm, based on towns and cities growing up close to the farm. A lot of the farms that the integrators have built, in fact, I've participated in a lot of the site work and those type things. When we built the farms, we can show you photos and there was not a house around that farm, no houses around that farm. And then we can show today, where people were build their homes right up to the spray fields. In this County, in Wayne County, there's a setback that you can't build a hog house within 1500 feet of a residence. Well, in Wayne County, they have had the reverse of that, that you can't build a residence within 1500 feet of a hog house. So I find it interesting that people would talk about how bad it is, but that if that were true, people wouldn't be building three and four hundred thousand dollar homes right up to the property lines of a farm. And so, I think that that's a lot of misconceptions as far as North Carolina permitting them more hog farms, and when they do something on the farm, they are allowed to update it and modernize. And, if it's in a sensitive area, got programs so that we can move out of that area. So good story to tell again, that's seldom told. Thank you for listening.

Throughout this season, the WRAL Doc Podcast has talked about the destruction that follows Wicked Weather and the impact a single storm can have. But what happens when it isn't just one storm, but two separate weather events mere weeks apart, setting the stage for unprecedented destruction? That's the situation surrounding one of the most infamous and talked-about hurricanes in North Carolina history: Floyd. This week, we look back at the record-breaking storm and how changes in flood mapping hope to prevent such a disaster from ever happening again. This episode features appearances by Greg Fishel, Jeff Orrock, Bill Leslie, Jimmy Tickel, Joe Rudek, Scott Stephens, Sam Knight, Delia Perkins, John Dorman, Mark Brown and Fred Turnage.

In September 1999, Hurricane Floyd hit the Tri-State Area as a tropical storm. WCBS meteorologist Craig Allen has more.

You Asked, We Answered! Transcript of the podcast Hello, my name is Andrew Leake, and I’m going to ask you to do something for me. I want you to close your eyes as I take you five years into the past: the year 2011. Media paranoia ensues as a massive storm makes its way up the east coast of the United States like a lion stalking its prey, preparing to pounce. Your family is in a panic as this storm closes the gap to get to you ever so slowly, and precautions are being done to brace for the coming assault. Your home is now a bunker, and outside is unsafe. The storm has arrived, and its power is something no one could have prepared for. Winds strong enough to uproot trees have a never-ending reign, and raindrops hurl towards the planet’s surface like billions of miniature missiles launched a few million at a time. The battle cries of thunder and the explosions of lightning ensure this storm has no sympathy for life. Suddenly, you hear another battle cry, one that is not familiar to you. Media coverage unveils that this is a new titanic storm of equal power to the one that was already present. The east coast has been turned into a massive cloud on the map, and a living torture towards the surface. Floods, outages, and devastation commence at an even more alarming pace. After hours of torment and torture, you finally hear the end of the onslaught. You walk out of your house and see the carnage that was left over. Branches, water, and trash litter the streets and sidewalks. Trees are destroyed, power has gone out, and basements are flooded. Now, open your eyes. This visualization was the reality that people faced in 2011. You may now be thinking “What kind of storms rampaged through the east coast?” “Was that much damage actually done?” The answer is simple; the titanic storms were known as Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee had hit numerous states on the east coast, mainly Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, and even Washington, D.C. [1] In terms of Pennsylvania, Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee were the first major storms to hit the state in twenty-two years, with the last one being Hurricane Floyd in 1999. [2] As the storms hit the Eastern seaboard, winds had reached speeds of 115 miles per hour; rainfall had accumulated up to two feet high with severe flooding, and massive power outages left a couple million customers without power. [3] In Pennsylvania, 700,00-850,000 customers of FirstEnergy corporations, such as PECO, were without power, and three people died during this time. [4] As if the power outages and flood were not enough, all forms of public transit, such as buses and trains, were shut down for days until the flooding stopped. [5] Everything was shut down and destroyed by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Since the devastation of these two storms, places have taken precautions to combat future damage from equally powerful storms. Houses in West Pittston, Pennsylvania have actually been remodeled so they are supported on beams to prevent any water from the streets getting into the rooms. [6] The streets in this area gather too much water, and flooding becomes common there, so this support does help these families to not worry about property damage. In addition, a new form of grid has been developed to detect power outages and supply a limited source of power to the area until it can be fixed. [7] This development will alleviate the pressure of not having any power to use. With these advancements in specific being the most popular and effective as of right now, damages from any storm can be prevented, as a new gateway for even better technology in this field can be developed. In summation, due to Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, these innovations became a high priority to develop and create for the safety and insurance of citizens. As horrible as it is to say, Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee left a dangerous impression, and yet a needed impact on Pennsylvania and the country as a whole. I charge you now to take this content into your future. Who knows? Maybe you will be the next person to prevent the next Hurricane Irene. That’s all for now; I’m Andrew Leake, and I thank you for listening to me today, and I hope you have a great rest of your day. Have a good one!   (This audio file was recorded by Andrew Leake, undergraduate student, Penn State Brandywine, in November 2016.

Melvyn Bragg discusses climate change. In 1999 the weather gave the planet’s occupants a terrible beating: 16,000 people lost their lives as a result of storms. Some 15 million people were left homeless and 10,000 died when the world’s worst cyclone swept across eastern India. Hurricane Floyd wreaked 4.3 billion pounds worth of damage in the United States, Typhoon Bart hit Japan and Typhoon York hit Hong Kong and Macau. Western Europe is unused to hurricane force winds, but since Christmas 80 people have died in France as a result of storms. And in Venezuela floods and mud slides are continuing to cause devastation on a massive scale.The climate has become political but is the science, supposedly underpinning apocalyptic and apposite millennial claims of doom, really water-tight? It might seem that the effects of global warming are already upon us, but are they - and if so how can we really hope to stop them? With Sir John Houghton, Co-Chair of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change - the United Nations’ global warming science committee; George Monbiot, environmentalist, journalist and Visiting Professor, Department of Philosophy, Bristol University.
