I just posted on another thread. He evacuated a city of 500,000 people, carrying the people in ones and twos to a location 35 miles away, while a nuclear weapon was detonating ...in 0.00001 of a microsecond. Considering a microsecond is a millionth of a second, he did it in 0.00001 of a millionth of a second.
Considering distance, and that he had to do that trip multiple times back and forth (each trip being 35 miles x2 times the number of people he's carrying depending whether it is ones or twos), it was calculated he was traveling between 9 to 13 trillion times the speed of light.
Easy answer as to who could do what Wally did is Barry, but the best answer is:

Yeah,no one is doing that at that speed or faster.You'd have to use some kind of amalgam. Blink or Magik, with incredible reflexes or something.
Maybe Strange, with a time stop.
But pure speed? Physically travelling in and out? Nobody.

Even if someone would try, the humans would die during the attempt. Either from the being accelerated from 0 to xxxxx time ftl or because of the one being not fast enough.
Exactly, and that is what makes the Flashes unique. The speed force enables them to effectively use their high speeds in a manner that other superfast characters (like the Surfer and Superman) are unable to. There might be other characters that can travel at similar velocities, but the speed would be primarily limited to travel and/or combat. The speed force enables Flashes to use speed to do much more.

What can the speed force do....that the power cosmic can't?
