We drove from STL to Carolina Beach (Wilmington) NC on I-40 shortly after they blew through. We had a condo in Carolina Beach at that time. As far NW as Winston/Salem we started seeing damage. After getting through Raleigh, the damage started to really ramp up. I think half of the traffic on the highway at that point were power utility trucks and crews arriving from all over the country. We drove through many, many miles of massive tree damage, as you described. It was not to be forgotten.
