Vault Visit | Hurricane Bertha reached North Carolina coast

The hurricane blew through on July 12, 1996.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year... WFMY News 2 turns 75! So to celebrate... We're opening the WFMY News 2 vault. 

July 12, 1996... The coast was dealing with wind and rain from Hurricane Bertha. 

The storm came ashore between Wrightsville and Topsail Beach as a Category 2 hurricane.

Many houses sustained damage... Not only from wind... But also due to erosion. 

It left thousands without power for several days up and down the East Coast. 

Two people in our state died as a result of Hurricane Bertha.
