Description:"Hurricane Floyd was the strongest and most damaging hurricane of the 1999 Atlantic season. At its peak strength to was classified as a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale. By the time it made landfall near Wilmington, NC it had weakened to a category 2 hurricane. Most of the damage and casualties attributed to the storm were due to heavy rainfall and flooding caused by the passage of the storm along the U.S. Atlantic coastline, The hardest hit area was eastern North Carolina. This report covers the data collected by the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) during the passage of Floyd in the week of September 13-19, 1999. The storm track resulted in significant storm surges at almost all of CO-OPS' National Water Level Observations Network (NWLON) stations along the Atlantic Coast. At three stations, observed water levels exceeded their historical records. Previous major storm event data reports are listed in the reference section at the end of this report"--Introduction (page 1).
