Western North Carolina and the Flood of 1916

For a wonderful account of the Flood of 1916 and additional pictures, read Our State magazine’s account published in 2010. It is online at https://www.ourstate.com/flood-of-1916/


After this picture was taken, the rest of the railroad bridge fell into the flood waters. Photograph by Steve Nicklas, NOS, NGS; courtesy of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce.
