From the 5 p.m. discussion...
THE CENTER OF HURRICANE ALEX PASSED ABOUT 10 MILES SOUTHEAST OF CAPE HATTERAS NEAR 17Z THIS AFTERNOON...AND BROUGHT SUSTAINED CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE FORCE WINDS TO THE OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA. AT THE TIME OF CLOSEST APPROACH...ALEX WAS A CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE WITH WINDS OF 85 KT...BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS WERE LOCATED OFFSHORE ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF CIRCULATION.
Any thoughts, Derecho?
