Join historian John Hairr, author of North Carolina Rivers: Facts, Legends and Lore, as he recounts the most powerful hurricanes that have made landfall along the North Carolina coast, including Hurricane Hazel, which left a path of destruction from the Carolinas to Canada, and the Great Beaufort Hurricane of 1879, a tempest that set wind speed records that have yet to be surpassed. Engagingly written and illustrated with historical photos that graphically depict the disastrous effects of these mighty storms, The Great Hurricanes of North Carolina is a gripping read.
