Well, we’ll see what’s in store for Jersey and Philly soon enough.

Minimal damage from storm surge, a lot of rain, uprooted trees and light, mostly aesthetic exterior damage to structures, flooding of lowlying areas from NC to Mass, with very heavy snowfall amounts of up to two feet along the Appalachians, from northeastern Tennessee and northwestern North Carolina on up through the Virginias into Pennsylvania, with a possible lake effect kicking in over parts of the Ohio Valley, western PA and Upstate New York.

That’s my forecast for the next several days as a result of this storm.

What’s yours?

I have to disagree on two points. I think the surge will cause very significant damage along much of the Jersey Shore and Western Long Island. With NYC, the wild card is whether the subways get flooded. If that happens, it becomes a major disaster for NYC.

The most far-reaching impact will be power outages - upwards of ten million people if not more, along with all the associated economic losses from such. And there will be social unrest in some areas as well when the potable water and food runs out.

Regarding wind damage, I agree. Not significant structural wind damage except spotty tree and limb falls.
