Hurricane Floyd was the third major hurricane of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season and triggered the second largest evacuation in US History when 2.6 million residents of the coasts of five states (including Florida) were ordered from their homes as the storm approached.

At its peak, Floyd was a very strong Category 4 hurricane (with maximum sustained winds of 155mphs - just shy of the criteria for a Category 5 of sustained wind speeds over 155mph) and is among the largest Atlantic hurricanes of its strength ever recorded.

With a death toll of 57, Hurricane Floyd was the deadliest United States hurricane since Hurricane Agnes in 1972. The storm also was one of the costliest in the nation's history, amounting to $4.5 billion (1999 USD). Although much of the southeastern United States were affected, North Carolina received the brunt of the storm's damage due to extensive flooding (nearly 19 inches of rainfall in some locations and a storm surge of 9-10 feet).

Due to the incredible devastation caused by Hurricane Floyd, the name Floyd was retired from the rotating lists of tropical cyclone names by the World Meteorological Organization in 2000.
