For the Grand Strand, the winds peaked between 80 and 85 mph, but it's not the wind damage or storm surge that this storm is most known for. Floyd is remembered for the major flooding it caused in the Carolinas and for prompting the largest peacetime evacuation in American history. https://bit.ly/3c7OU6Y | WPDE ABC15 | Facebook
