.Hugo was big but just looking at the pic not nearly as big as Helene. We go to Myrtle Beach a lot and because they are north of where it hit they got the brunt of the high wind speeds before it went inland.

Yep. My dad owned the 7th house down the coast from the Garden City Pier. He had spent almost a year sprucing the place up - and then Hugo hit as a Cat4 or Cat5 and wiped everything from the pier down to house #24 - except his. The waves ripped out the floor in the back two rooms where he had installed sliding glass doors. Guess the first or second big wave took out the cypress flooring... It was really impressive from the road side until you walked around to the back side of the house.
