    • Hurricane Ophelia Aerial Photography: High-Resolution Imagery of the North Carolina Coast After Landfall

    Metadata Updated: May 22, 2025

    The imagery posted on this site is of the North Carolina coast after Hurricane Ophelia made landfall. The regions photographed range from Hubert, North Carolina to Rodanthe, North Carolina. The aerial photograph missions were conducted by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division the day after Ophelia made landfall, September 17 and concluded September 18. The images were acquired from an altitude of 7,500 feet, using an Emerge/Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). Over 400 aerial images were obtained during this time period, with most available to view online and download.
