It must be pretty unusual for the highest recorded gust to be so far inland. 

Those don't capture all of them. I don't see Augusta in there.

Pigeon River at Newport is rising quickly.  Reports that the Waterville Dam upstream failed, and evacuation of Newport is underway.

Don’t the Dam fail after that pic was taken?

Yeah, was implying if it already looked like that before the damn failure its probably going to be completely washed out for a long ways.

This flooding in W NC and E TN is just about as bad as it gets.

Like Camille was for central VA or Agnes was for central PA.

small consolation to all the affected areas/population, but this one's a no-brainer - "Helene" will surely be retired so no more systems with that name will happen.

I'm interested in knowing which two models performed best on track from FF-GA, and intensity?  I dont need timing assessment.  There's quite a few pages for me to wade through.  Is there any general consensus. Thanks, Walt
