About this listen

In this episode of History You Didn’t Know But Should, Chris and Ray dive into the epic story of the 1916 flood that tore through North Carolina’s mountains destroying bridges, railroads, and entire communities. We also trace the legacy of later storms like Hazel, Matthew, and Hurricane Helene (2024) to show how hurricanes and floods continue to reshape the region and remind us of its ongoing vulnerability to inland flooding.

Tune in for a mix of history, storytelling, and connections to the storms we still face today.
