CNN 20: CNN Remembers Hurricane Fran

Aired September 7, 2000 - 10:26 a.m. ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: First "CNN 20," a look back at Hurricane Fran.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEFF FLOCK, CHICAGO BUREAU CHIEF: 1996 was really a difficult year for hurricanes along the North Carolina coast. First, Bertha came in and did a lot of damage, came in as a category 2 storm.

Then, in September, Fran came on a very similar path, a little bit more of a powerful storm, did a lot of damage, brought a lot of water in. There was flooding damage as well the wind damage that a category 3 storm brings.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KATHLEEN KENNEDY, CNN ANCHOR: Now, we have not heard yet about possible damage in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, but we are joined by CNN's Jeff Flock on the phone, who is there.

Jeff, what can you tell us?

FLOCK: Lots of other pieces of debris, pieces of roofs, pieces of a fishing pier, are now littered in the street. Parts of the street itself have been -- have been broken into several pieces and strewn about. Big pieces of macadam (ph) sticking up now. A lot of debris that we are able to see just in this limited area that we are right now, and we have a sense that when the sun comes up it will reveal perhaps even more extensive damage.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FLOCK: A little bit more of a powerful storm did a lot of damage, brought a lot of water in. There was flooding damage as well as the wind damage that a category three storm brings.
