Hurricane Earl Info
Hurricane Warning – September 1 – 11 am
A Hurricane Warning is now in effort for Pasquotank and Camden Counties and for the east coast of the United States from Bogue Inlet NC northeastward to the NC/VA border…including the Pamilco and Albemarle Sounds.
Pasquotank and Camden counties should expect to receive sustained winds of 35 – 40 mph with possible gust upwards to 50 mph early Friday morning into Friday afternoon. Flooding from Earl is expected to be minimal; possibility 2 ft. along the Albemarle Sound.
It is important to remember that Earl is currently a large, major hurricane with hurricane-force winds extending outward up to 90 miles and tropical storm-forcing winds reaching 200 miles out from the center so just a small “bobble” to the west can make a significant difference.
A hotline for Pasquotank and Camden citizens has been established at 252-331-7474
to provide updated local information.
Again, if you have not already done so, now is the time to begin preparedness actions. Continue to listen to local media for updated information as the storm gets closer to NC and be ready to evacuate if the conditions suddenly change.
