1 3. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) 



Surface meteorological and coastal storm-surge data for Hurricane Emily (22 August - 6 September 1993) are presented. 

 These data include maximum surface wind speed and minimum surface central pressure histories, surface wind analyses at 

 times of Emily's closest approach to land, 8 hr prior, and 4 hr following; and storm surge data in both tabular and graphic 

 form for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The report documents Emily's effects in the primary area of impact. Emily's 

 coastal effects are noteworthy in that inundation of the barrier island system was due to high waters from Pamlico Sound 

 rather than the Atlantic Ocean.
