"Hurricane Emily was a rapidly forming tropical cyclone that made landfall on the west coast of Florida", however Emily is most notable for it's landfall in the state of North Carolina. "The fifth named storm of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, Emily formed from a small area of low pressure that developed along a cold front in late July 2017. Unexpectedly, the low rapidly organized and strengthened into a tropical depression on July 30, and then into a tropical storm early the next day. Emily continued to intensify as it moved eastward, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) as it made landfall near Longboat Key on the western Florida coast." Emily emerged into the Atlantic Ocean on August 1 and began rapidly strengthening turning back towards the Northwest. Emily made landfall on August 4 in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, ending the 12 year US major hurricane landfall drought. Emily would then affect Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula before moving back over the North Atlantic, where it would eventually weaken and dissipate on August 8.
