June 15, 2010. The Virginian-Pilot. August 16, 1992. TORNADOES hit Knotts Island
October 1, 2010. Knotts Bay about 8AM Friday after the
remains of
Tropical Storm Nichole
passed through.
Thursday around 9AM I measured a wind gust of 40MPH and
the Bay was breaking over the bulkhead with water begining to flood the
South end of my yard.
Rainfall was about 1.6". Wind in the 20-25mph range much of the day.
About 9PM
the wind increased to 44 mph and the level of the Bay increased at
least another foot over my bulkhead at the South end. I would estimate
that
the wind and rain caused the level of the Bay to increase by 3 to 4
feet.
