The nor’easter poses significant risks to millions of residents along the East Coast. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to storm surges, tidal flooding, and beach erosion. Strong winds and heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding in urban areas, especially in New England. Persistent onshore winds in regions like the Outer Banks and Virginia may exacerbate coastal flooding and create dangerous surf conditions. The storm’s slow-moving nature increases the likelihood of prolonged impacts, including power outages and travel disruptions.
