Impact & Risks

The nor’easter poses significant risks to coastal and low-lying areas. Southeastern Virginia is already experiencing road closures and disruptions due to tidal flooding, with homes and businesses at risk. In New England, the combination of strong winds, heavy rain, and fully leafed trees increases the likelihood of power outages and fallen trees. Coastal areas in New York, New Jersey, and Delaware face potential structural damage and erosion due to high surf and flooding. Flash flooding is a concern in areas receiving the heaviest rainfall, particularly in Long Island and southern Connecticut.
