Hurricane Gloria, 1985

I was cleaning up and organizing a bunch of files and photos the other day....and found these two pictures from September, 1985, after Hurricane Gloria hit Ocracoke.

As you can see from the next photo, the storm tide from Hurricane Gloria has only been exceeded twice since 1985:  Hurricane Alex (2004) and Hurricane Matthew (2016).
