Hurricane/Flood FLOYD

On Friday September 17, 1999 Trenton residents awoke with Trent River overflowing into the streets toward Brock millpond and that afternoon almost the entire town was inundated. An aerial view shows the extent of flooding as captured by Charles Buchanan of the kinston free press. Water was approximately 36” higher than the previous high water mark set in 1908. Local damage was sustained to homes, crops, and livestock.
