Abstract:
"Seventy years ago, winds gusted to 90 mph in Raleigh, 110 mph in Fayetteville, and as high as 150 mph at the coast.' The author notes as the strongest hurricane based on the Saffir Simpson scale category, Hazel is an obvious benchmark on which all other storms are compared. It is possible, however, to have a Category-5 hurricane someday along North Carolina's coast.
