Between 80 and 89 mph IIRC. Mostly on the northeastern part of the state.
Ok. Tropical Storm when made landfall. Some parts witnessed hurricane force wind gusts after landfall. That does not make it a hurricane. It was a mess, yes. It was large. yes. But it was not a hurricane, nor was it anywhere near the cataclysmic event it was purported to be. It was overhyped in a time of extreme political scrutiny and the desperate need for an event to support bs global warming rhetoric and made for good media fodder in an area where they think the world revolves around. Remeber after the 2004 and 2005 seasons we were supposed to have more frequent and more severe hurricanes, etc., the new normal. 10 years hence we haven’t even come close to a landfall hurricane in the Atlantic.
