The storm poses significant risks to coastal communities in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. Strong winds could lead to power outages and hazardous travel conditions, while coastal flooding may damage infrastructure and worsen beach erosion. The Outer Banks are particularly vulnerable, with homes and roadways at risk due to relentless wave action. Although flash flooding is not a major concern, wind-driven rain could create unpleasant outdoor conditions. (Source: 6abc Philadelphia)
