There has been some discussion in the past about the Grandfather
Mountain site not be entirely accurate due to (accidental) man-made
funneling effects. I haven't been there since I was a kid so I can't
express an opinion on it myself.
However, even without GF Mountain the NC Mountains can and do have some
high wind speeds. My boss's house at NCDC (Grant Goodge at Flat Top
Mountain) had 110mph or something like that during the Blizzard of '93.

CASI has a page on Mount Washington which notes that fact and frames the
site and a site with the current observation. I am planning on
expanding that page soon with graphs of the conditions, etc.
It is part of the CASI Weird Weather Section:
