In all that stuff you've gotten stashed on your computer about these storms, do you know what the wind speeds were when she left the state?

And is there a map that shows all the areas she impacted?

Work with me here, I've got this great theory going.......LOL.

Basically 24 hours in the state. Initially, hurricane force winds extended about 100-120 miles east of the center. The wide swath of wind continued north, but the strongest probably shrank in size to about ~50 miles to the east by the time it exited. There were also similar winds on the west, slightly weaker... and less expansive.

These are the relavent NHC images:

As far as a wind damage map, I don't know if there is one. You can take the numbers above and look at the Beaufort Scale to get an idea of wind damage across the state at that time.
