North Carolina, 3 August 2004 (NASA) - Hurricane Alex skims the North Carolina shoreline in this image, taken on August 3, 2004, at 12 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. At that time, Alex was a Category Two hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour and stronger gusts. Storm surges of 2-4 feet, heavy surf, and rip currents are expected to affect the entire Atlantic shoreline. According to the Tropical Prediction Center, Alex is moving towards the northeast at 15 mph and is expected to maintain that course over the next 24 hours.
The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Alex formed as a tropical depression on July 31, and developed into a tropical storm on August 2. It reached hurricane status on August 3 as it neared the North Carolina coast.
