Happened to visit Helen, GA when the damage from a tornado spun off from Katrina was still evident. Returned to Helen on a drive to the mountains this summer and looked for evidence of that same damage across the "valley" from the visitor center/police dept parking lot, but all looked normal.
I *think* I recall that Katrina reached 178 mph before hitting as a Cat 3. This Milton guy suddenly getting to 175 is blowing me away. Pun noticed only after the fact.
