Hurricane/Flood FLOYD
On Friday September 17, 1999 Trenton
residents awoke with Trent River overflowing into the streets and that
afternoon water had risen until Trenton
United Methodist
Church was flooded with
water 6" deep in the sanctuary and 12" in the remainder of the entire
building. Cleanup efforts have been ongoing and repair and rebuilding
efforts are now beginning and will take until early spring before
completion. This Church was built in 1888 and had never experienced
a flooding situation of this magnitude in its history. Trenton's flood plain level was established
from 1908 and water was 3 ft. in excess of this level. A picture is posted
showing this church at time of flood crest. Also an aerial view of Trenton is shown. (By Charles
Buchanan with kind permission of THE KINSTON FREE PRESS) :
This is a very large file and will take a while to load! This was the only Methodist Church
in the New Bern District to sustain serious damage, although many in eastern North Carolina
experienced significant damage. Several members also sustained major
damage to their home, crops, and livestock. Many local churches have been
assisting with cleanup efforts and supplies. Some of the church groups lending
major assistance to this disaster relief effort have been listed here. Our church was
still able to act as the Distribution
Center for the town and
adjacent community until ceasing 11-1-1999. Many of our members
volunteered in its operation. Over 400 individual volunteers served and more
than 50 homes were provided assistance and about 50 churches of several
denominations were represented. Needless to say, our damage was great and our
needs are many. A LIST of
damages with estimated expenses associated are provided for your review.
