The storm poses a significant risk to coastal neighborhoods, with potential flooding during high tides and strong winds that could cause damage to unsecured outdoor items. Beachgoers should avoid entering the water due to rip currents and rough surf. Residents in basement or ground-floor apartments are particularly vulnerable to flooding and should prepare to evacuate if necessary. Driving or walking through floodwaters is highly dangerous, as even shallow water can be hazardous. The storm may also disrupt travel, with ponding on roads and potential delays.
