The maximum elevation of the wrack line, which is a reasonable representation of storm surge, was 2.9 m. Where water flow was not interrupted by dense vegetation and development, the wrack line was deposited on the backside of the single, continuous frontal dune ridge. A prominent feature of the post-storm landscape was a semicontinuous wrack line, up to 1-meter thick, comprised primarily of salt marsh grass, mud, and other debris washed from Pamlico Sound onto Hatteras Island. Such gains are the result of research at NOAA, other federal agencies, and academic institutions. Washovers were restricted to locations of recent previous dune breaches. As long-time coastal residents know, hurricane forecasts are significantly more accurate than they were decades ago, particularly when it comes to predicting the track a storm will follow. Emily caused no major oceanside dune breaching. 'Hurricane Warning' means that hurricane conditions are possible within 24 hours. Soundside water levels were greater in magnitude than those at the open- ocean shoreline. The US Navy meteorologists have had quite a discussion over the last few days and the forecast track has varied significantly - many times - over the last 24 hours. Hurricane Emily continued tracking northeast throughout September 25 into the. Surge elevations were amplified by the concavity of the soundside shoreline of the Cape Hatteras cuspate foreland. Hurricane Emily was a powerful tropical cyclone that struck Hispaniola in. Emily afforded a rare opportunity to observe the impacts of offshore-directed winds with enough fetch (across Pamlico Sound) to create large waves and significant storm surge along an estuarine shoreline. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Emily to pass over Florida and head back out. The wind forecast is also pointing at Emily strengthening to a cat 3 with 115mph winds 72 hrs out.
#Emily hurricane track update#
EMILY is a preventative tool, rescue ready at a moments notice. The latest NHC update forecasts the track of Emily to be nearly identical to Dennis, passing just north of Jamaica and at day 5 located south of Cuba.
EMILY strives to save lives in beach, ocean, river, and flood situations and also aids in search and recovery missions using sonar technology. The center of the eye stayed offshore the western quadrants barely brushed land near the town of Buxton. Tropical Storm Emily formed off the Florida coast Monday morning. EMILY was invented in 2010 and is saving lives all over the world. Hurricane Emily passed by Cape Hatteras, North Carolina as a Category 3 storm on August 31, 1993.
