A man is swept away in a swollen North Carolina creek, and is presumed dead. The city loses power and it may not be restored for a week. Police and the military rush to the rescue. A church becomes a staging area for rescue teams. "The storm hurled stories at our staff," Editor Al Clark said. They responded with deadline reporting that was timely and thorough after Hurricane Floyd took its toll of eastern North Carolina in September 1999.
"Everyone at the paper answered the call," Clark said. The bylines in the Daily Reflector's exhibits in the public service and deadline reporting categories of the Best of Cox are those of: Scott Batchelor, Marion Blackburn, Dawn Bryant, Bobby Burns, Travis Fain, Nichole Monroe, Judy Royal, Amy L. Royster and Chad Eric Watt, plus Cox Newspapers correspondent Anne Rochell Konigsmark; Eunice Moscoso of the Cox Washington Bureau; and Ernie Suggs of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The photo credits are those of Chris Cummins, Greg Eans and Jean-Henri White. Chad Eric Watt created the paper's informational graphics. The Daily Reflector's special daily feature, "Flooding update," provided important information including meeting times and places, road conditions and locations for receiving tetanus shots. © Cox
