Quick search of the NOAA Coastal Services Center.
Historical Hurricane Tracks. (1954-2004 only)
I found three storms within 125nm of Emily's beginning track point.
Arlene 7-31-1963 at 25 kts
Arthur 7-22-1990 at 25 kts
Bertha 7-05-1996 at 35 kts.

This was a quick, lat/ long, search using Emily's original track point from Advisory # 1.

There are many ways to utilize this search engine. I was mainly interested in the July storms (All Storm categories).
