Friends in Marshall & Swannanoa say different. Watch the radar. The storm formation - with an eye and counterclockwise rotation - stays intact - 500 miles over land. Never seen that before.

I was only talking about the wind speed. Radar does not equal wind speed. Wind speed is what makes the difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane. However 50 miles west of Ashville, the wind was over 60 mph, which was to be expected on that side of the storm.
Yirgach - the friends I mention above are still encamped up in the mountains, self-sufficient - they'll be fine. They know their terrain and wind speeds. I'll take their word over any hearsay - anything I hear or read.
Ron - Your friends were very fortunate to be camping in high terrain as they missed the major brunt of the storm, like the extreme rain which caused havoc in the valley rivers and towns.
The Ventusky.com weather page has the ability to go back in time for any statistic, like wind, rain, satellite, etc. Very useful for looking at what happened.
Yirgach - not camping, encamped. They're tucked away, off-grid, 60KW solar capacity topped off batteries, with generator backup if needed. Plenty of other necessities. Talked with them the morning after the storm.
They may have been the only ones in Buncombe County, with power and Sat Phones. You see, they've done what most talk about doing. Again, they'll be fine.
Thanks for the site reference, I'll check it out. You know the site data can be manipulated, right? On-the-ground, word of mouth, not so much.

Hint: Manmade........
Hint: Juiced up to make more rain and with some Microwave energy burst that's exactly what happens... more energy, longer storm...

Never seen before, at least in the past 200 years or so.
Exactly.
Counterclockwise? Really?
Think of the uplift from the Appalachians wringing out the declining storm. Asheville was clobbered by rain.
