Title A name given to the resource 2 Families Swept Away On Tidal Wave Description An account of the resource Front page article recounts the experiences of the residents of Fowler's Trailer Park during the flood. A picture of Porter Fowler Jr. is printed here. A 4' tall wave of water hit a trailer two families were sheltering in, and after sweeping it off its moorings, broke it in two and killed several of the people inside. The mothers of each family were rescued, however the fathers and the children were lost. Both families-- the Woodys and the Roberts--had a working landline until the water hit the trailer. The Woodys trailer remained intact, and the author hypothesizes that had they stayed within it, they would have survived. Fowler Jr., the son of the trailer park's owner, saved a woman and her niece. He believes that the cause of the 'wave' was parts of a nearby dam giving way. The photo of Fowler Jr. was taken by Malcolm Gamble.

Title A name given to the resource WNC Flood Damage is Widespread Description An account of the resource Front page article describing property damage from the flood. Pritchard likens this flood to the memorial day weekend flood three years prior, but in contrast to that flood, no people were killed or injured on the 28th. It also states that the final cost of damage in the 1973 flood was around $8 million. The cost of damage from this flood is estimated to exceed $1 million. The worst hit areas were Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Candler and Fairview. Property and crop losses were high in these places. Figures for the cost of damage in each town are printed, along with a weather forecast. An expert says that the "flooding in WNC was almost identical to rain damages experienced in the area just two weeks ago; "the same type of flooding, the same areas and the same types of damages." The only difference, he says, is that crop damages are worse this time. One death has been recorded; a WCU student who entered the water in a kayak. The French Broad crested at 9.5'. Several different groups of people have been stranded by the rising waters, and needed rescue from first responders. Over 100 combined residents were evacuated from two trailer parks, and around 50 were shelted in a local school. Most damage to powerlines was done in the Biltmore, Swannanoa, and Botany Woods areas. This article is accompanied by a photo of the Swannanoa River lapping at the bottom of the Biltmore Avenue bridge during the height of the flood.
