'the TV reporter says that the inhabitants of Roanoke, Virginia, disappeared without a trace in 1857, but this is incorrect as it was actually the inhabitants of Roanoke Island, North Carolina, that disappeared (and they disappeared in the 17th century, not the 19th century). King appears to be aware of this, as when Linoge talks to the islanders in Part 3, Act 4, 95 , Roanoke Island is said to keep a secret.'
I found this on a website about the Storm of the Century...they made mention of Roanoke disappearing..the name reminded me of the mini series
