Margie, the attachment you posted has a really good resolution. The ticks on the map overlay are in 1degree squares (smaller squares). That would place the diameter of the Eye at nearly 45miles across.
Large storm surge!
The only thing that might have been in their favor is the lack of rain indicated, on the satellite image, East of the storm...prior to landfall.
That ...might, help the trees stay upright. But the windspeeds that I saw prior to landfall were at least, N ATL Cat3 range.
Seems like CNN reported a significant storm surge.
