Geocache Description:

This series of puzzle caches focuses on hurricanes that made landfall in the state of North Carolina. The difficulty level of the cache will correspond to the category level of the storm. Some will be easy and some will be difficult but all will be fun and educational. These storms ensure there's never a dull moment living in Beaufort. The final cache container is NOT located at the posted coordinates.

Hurricanes are among earth’s fiercest forces. Unlike most other natural forces, hurricanes can now be predicted and tracked. Riding out one of these storms, however, usually comes at a high cost. Rain, flooding, wind, and tornadoes are just a few of the perils. Isabel proved to be the costliest, deadliest, and strongest hurricane of the 2003 season. Caches by the hundreds were destroyed as a result. After peaking as a category 5 storm it made landfall with winds of 105 mph. Names associated with hurricanes usually return but this one was retired following the 2003 season due to the excessive damage and deaths associated with it. Even today, the damage associated with this storm can be seen along the coast of our state.

Obviously, you'll need a passphrase to solve for the final coordinates. You'll have to find it on your own. But no worries, you won't have to look very far as it's displayed somewhere in the description.
