This storm is big as the outer bands are pushing all the way to the Smokies.

Yes, it is massive. The real story is much more about the water than the wind. A storm of this heft is going to drive a strong surge along its path and will drop double digit QPF along a large swatch of the EC (on to some very saturated ground). Won't take much in the way of sustained winds (even if reduced to TS levels) to topple many timbers. Folks need to understand that the TS level winds are going to be impacting many areas along the path for up to 20+ hours!
