Hurricane Ophelia
- September 14-15, 2005
Cape Lookout - Core Banks South
National Park Service closed the Island on 9/10/05 as Ophelia lumbered up the
East Coast all week changing from Tropical Storm to Hurricane and back again
several times... It finally swiped the outer banks doing a good deal of damage
to Atlantic Beach, Topsail, and others. It stayed over Davis and Cape
Lookout for almost 16 hours!! Wind gusts to 96 mph were reported! Damage could
have been much worse -- a lot of folks in Davis are still rebuilding from Isabel
in 2003!!
