maximum wave height was 3.52 m at 0900 EST on 20 August, with the highest 

 sustained winds of 18.13 m/sec recorded at 0800 EST on 20 August. Waves of 

 2 m and higher were recorded for 68 consecutive hours (19 August, 1700 hours, 

 through 22 August, 1200 hours). A total of 128 mm of precipitation fell 

 during the storm, with 115 mm falling on 20 August. A large amount of ero- 

 sion occurred along most of the profile line from the foreshore to the storm 

 bar which was flattened and moved 50 m seaward. Seaward of the storm bar up 

 to 0.7 m of sediment was removed.

12. Tropical Cyclone Emily developed off Bermuda and curved NE. Com- 

 bined with a large high-pressure system to the north, Emily produced large 

 swells and high tides. Northeast winds prevailed for two days, reaching 

 8.7 m/sec and producing 2.8-m waves along the North Carolina coastline. 



12-16 October (Figure 12) 



13. A low-pressure system moving ENE off Georgia combined with a very 

 large high-pressure system to the north and produced NNE winds up to 



14.4 m/sec, with wave heights up to 2.7 m. 



30 October- 1 November (Figure D13) 



14. A very large high-pressure system centered above northeastern 

 Canada produced strong NNE winds for 30 October, with peaks up to 13.3 m/sec. 



12-15 November (Figure D14) 



15. A combination of a low-pressure system off the North Carolina 

 coast and the syzygy-perigean alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth resulted 

 in high waves and water levels with extensive beach changes at the FRF. A 

 cold front which developed in the southwest part of Canada during the weekend 

 of 7 November moved across the United States and passed the FRF (Outer Banks) 

 on Tuesday, 10 November. A low-pressure system, centered in the Gulf of Mex- 

 ico at that time, moved across Florida on 11 November and up the east coast.
