Hurricane Emily struck the Outer Banks on August 31, 1993, as a Category 3 storm, leaving a major mark on Eastern North Carolina. More than 550 homes were damaged beyond repair, and power was cut to Hatteras Island to prevent fires from downed lines. Storm surge and flooding left one in four Cape Hatteras residents homeless. Strong winds uprooted trees, tore off roofs, and caused $35 million in damage. Two lives were tragically lost when swimmers drowned in Nags Head. As hurricane season continues, now is the time to prepare—not after a storm forms. Visit ReadyNC.gov for a list of emergency supply kit essentials. Preparing early helps protect you, your family, and your community. Images: Surge Flooding near Buxton, NC associated with Hurricane Emily, August 31, 1993.

Feathered Friday Ospreys have a unique outer toe that can reverse to help them hold onto slippery fish, resulting in a “two toes forward and one toe back grip.” These birds of prey are incredible fish loving raptors you can spot along the North Carolina coastal waterways. They’re one of the easiest birds of prey to observe thanks to their big, attention‑grabbing nests built on dead trees, channel markers, and even other human‑made structures. Ospreys are protected, nongame birds that stand over 21 inches tall with wingspans reaching up to 6 feet. They’re dark brown on top, bright white underneath, with a striking white head and a bold brown stripe through the eye. If you see a bird flying with crooked, M‑shaped wings and dark patches under the wings, you’ve likely found an osprey. They’re also the only raptor that dives feet‑first straight into the water to grab fish, using their sharp, spiny foot pads to hold onto slippery prey. Image: Osprey, Carteret County, May-June 2026.
