What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy rains from Hurricane Floyd accumulated around 20 inches and caused the worst flooding in county history. High water closed many roads including U.S. 701 and N.C. 210, 41, 53 and 87...isolating much of the area and inundating low-lying areas. The Kelly-Rowan area was affected first, and gradually more than 300 structures were flooded across the county. The Bladenboro business district had waist-deep water that affected 10 businesses and many residences. About 50% of the crops were lost, and hog waste contributed to pollution.
