		Isabel is considered to be one of the most significant tropical cyclones to affect portions of northeastern North Carolina and east-central Virginia since Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and the Chesapeake-Potomac Hurricane of 1933.
		Isabel approached a weakness in the western portion of the Azores-Bermuda High, which allowed the hurricane to turn west-northwestward on 13 September, northwestward on 15, September, and north-northwestward on 16 September.
		Isabel was indirectly responsible for 34 deaths: 22 in Virginia, 6 in Maryland, 2 in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and 1 each in New Jersey and the District of Columbia.

		Hurricane Isabel was the first major hurricane to threaten this section of the eastern seaboard since 1999 when Hurricane Floyd, a category 2 hurricane, caused $4.5 billion damage and 56 deaths.
		Isabel weakened after landfall although winds stayed stronger aloft with hurricane force gusts well inland over high ground and on high rise buildings, particularly to the east of Isabel's path.
		Isabel was located near 26.6N 70.7W (about 700 miles south of Cape Hatteras) heading north west towards the eastern coast at 7mph.

	USATODAY.com - Isabel lost power but size kept it dangerous (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Hurricane Isabel's power initially focused attention on the storm, but its size, not power, ensured it would be destructive when it finally hit the USA.
		At the time, Isabel was around 500 miles east of the islands around the northeastern edge of the Caribbean Sea — the nearest land — and a good 1,600 miles from the Outer Banks of North Carolina, which it would eventually hit.
		Any hurricane's waves are felt far from the storm and this is certainly the case with Isabel with 12-foot waves around 750 miles northeast of the center and 450 miles to the Southwest.

		At the height of the storm, wave crests were passing over the instrument once every 5 seconds (see video clip), and the storm was forcing the entire depth of the York River upstream at a rate of 2 knots.
		Isabel's storm-surge and waves combined to destroy all three of VIMS' research piers (see photos and video), including the pumphouses and lines that supply running seawater to Institute scientists.
		"Because Isabel was so large, its winds, waves, and surge affected the Bay for an abnormally long time." The ADCP showed that storm conditions persisted in the Bay for nearly 12 hours.

	USATODAY.com - East Coast getting ready for Hurricane Isabel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Isabel, which had weakened from a weekend high of steady 160 mph winds, was still potent at 105 mph Tuesday, making it a Category 2 storm status on a rising scale of 1 to 5.
		While Isabel has lost power since it was far out over the Atlantic Ocean, it remains a big storm with hurricane force — 74 mph or stronger — winds extending about 115 miles northeast from the center, and 70 miles to the southwest.
		Isabel is unlikely to shrink much in size before it hits, which means tropical storm winds could hit the coast from southern New Jersey all of the way south to around the North Carolina-South Carolina border.

	EO Natural Hazards: Hurricane Isabel
		After originating in the eastern Atlantic west of the Cape Verde Islands, Isabel became the second major hurricane of the 2003 Atlantic season when it was declared a Category 3 storm by the National Hurricane Center on September 8.
		It shows that Isabel has a very well- defined eye with an nearly concentric ring of intense rainfall rates (seen by the darker reds) that are providing heat energy to fuel the storm directly into the core.
		Isabel was now a powerful Catergory 5 storm with sustained winds estimated to be 160 mph with gusts up to 195 mph by the National Hurricane Center.

	Hurricane Isabel
		Hurricane Isabel's track was rather typical for tropical cyclones that are generated from tropical waves emerging off the west coast of Africa.
		In the case of Isabel, high pressure extended well westward toward the east coast of the Untied States delaying a more northerly component of motion that might have prevented landfall on the mainland.
		In the case of Isabel, the shear was on the order of 30 knots resulting in the maximum rainfall being located along and just eastward of the storm's track.

	Hurricane Isabel: Questions and Answers about Global Warming and Climate Change: Worldwatch Institute News
		Heat in the atmosphere is the fuel that leads to stormy weather, and meteorological studies indicate that rising temperatures will tend to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme storms—particularly the violent thunderstorms that occur in some parts of the world.
		Hurricanes and cyclones are fueled by the warm tropical oceans, and as ocean temperatures increase, their intensity may increase as well.
		In addition, there are many other factors that contribute to hurricanes, and it is uncertain whether their number will rise due to global warming.
