A peak of 2 to 4 feet of storm-surge inundation above ground level is expected in this area, including on the sound side of the Outer Banks.

A tropical storm warning was issued Monday afternoon from the far northern Outer Banks north of Duck to the North Carolina/Virginia border. The tropical storm warning has also been extended southward to Bogue Inlet, North Carolina, and the tropical storm watch has been discontinued west of Bogue Inlet.

“In summary, a tropical storm warning is now in effect from Bogue Inlet, North Carolina, northward to the North Carolina/Virginia border. This includes the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds. A tropical storm warning means tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area within 36 hours. As the storm tracks into the North Atlantic at the end of September, some of Maria’s rain and wind could brush part of Atlantic Canada. At the very least, seas near the coast and offshore will become dangerous. A lull in tropical activity will follow Maria, but there will likely be more tropical threats heading into October,” according to the report by weather.com Digital Meteorologists on September 25, 2017 10:45 PM

    Hurricane Hugo Research Paper

    Hurricane Hugo, one of the strongest hurricanes in South Carolina’s history, originated from a wave that moved west off of Africa’s coastline on September 9, 1989. Throughout the night and into the morning of September 10, Hugo had been classified as a tropical depression. As Hugo moved across the warm waters of the Atlantic it gained more and more strength. It wasn’t until September 14th that Hugo gained enough strength to be classified as a hurricane. On September 15th, Hugo turned west-north and began to pick up pace and strength, then became a category 5 hurricane with top speeds of almost 160 mph. Hugo began to weaken on September 16th, when it reached the islands of Guadeloupe and Montserrat. Hugo traveled over the U.S. Virgin islands on the morning of September 17th, and later that day over Puerto Rico. It was Puerto Rico’s high terrain that significantly weakened the hurricane.Throughout the next few days, Hugo’s maximum sustained winds fell to 105 mph and it began to reach the Carolina’s.…

    Hurricane Ike Research Paper

    Hurricanes can form very quickly and destroy communities in only a few days. Hurricanes are caused by warm, moist air being present over the ocean. The air rises up near the surface. The warm air rises so there is low pressure below. Air from nearby areas with higher pressure moves to areas with lower pressure. That air turns warm and moist and then rises. The surrounding air takes the place of that air. As the warm air cools, water in the air turns into clouds. The clouds and winds spin and grow, collecting the oceans heat and water from the surface (Erickson and Leon, 2017, p. 1-5). While the storm continues to grow it will reach different stages. At 38 miles per hour it is considered a tropical depression. Tropical depressions then become tropical storms and are given a name. Every six years a list of names is reused. These…

    1926 Hurricanes

    The "Great Miami" Hurricane was first spotted as a tropical wave located 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles on September 11th. The system moved quickly westward and intensified to hurricane strength as it moved to the north of Puerto Rico on the 15th. Winds were reported to be nearly 150 mph as the hurricane passed over the Turks Islands on the 16th and through the Bahamas on the 17th. Very little meteorological information about the approaching hurricane was available to the Weather Bureau in Miami. At that time there were only a few ship reports to tell of its existence. As a result, hurricane warnings were not issued until midnight on September 18th, which gave the residents of South Florida little notice of the impending…
