Impact & Risks

The flooding has disrupted transportation, with several roads underwater and some coastal roads potentially closing. Low-lying homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure are at risk of flooding. Shoreline erosion is also expected to worsen. Beaches remain dangerous due to high surf and rip currents, posing a significant risk to swimmers. Residents in affected areas are advised to avoid flooded streets and heed official warnings.
