The nor'easter poses significant risks to coastal communities, including flooding, erosion, and downed trees due to saturated soil. Urban and poor-drainage flooding remain concerns, especially with additional rainfall expected. The high winds have already caused scattered damage and disruptions, particularly during the morning hours. Coastal areas, including the Jersey Shore and Long Island, are at heightened risk during high tide cycles. Inland areas may also experience localized flooding due to heavy rain and unstable ground conditions.
