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.

We’ll compare notes come Wednesday evening, then.

They seem to think we here in CT are going to have 3-4 high tides to ride out on the shore before the surge stops. For me it will be a wind event (mostly), but I’m worried about friends near the shore.
