During Hurricane Dorian, which hit North Carolina on September 6, a group of wild horses and cows were swept out from Cedar Island into the ocean by an eight-foot surge of water. Exactly 28 horses of a herd of 49 and 17 cows of a group of 20 were thought dead until three cows were found at the Cape Lookout National Seashore on the Outer Banks.

The first cow was spotted by Cape Lookout National Seashore staff only a day after the storm, with the other two, both no older than 2 years old, found four weeks later.
