* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Moderate coastal flooding possible,
which would result in 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above
ground level in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and
shoreline. This would result in several road closures and
flooding of numerous low lying properties including parking
lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with basements near the
waterfront. Vehicles parked in vulnerable areas near the
waterfront will likely become flooded. Flooding will also extend
inland from the waterfront along tidal rivers and bays.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS FOR TWIN FORKS OF LONG ISLAND...Breaking waves
of 4 to 8 ft along the immediate shoreline will result in
significant beach erosion and splashover seawalls and
bulkheads, exacerbating flooding of shoreline roads and
properties. Minor damage is possible to waterfront structures.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS FOR OCEANFRONT...Large breaking waves of 8 to
12 ft along the oceanfront, and 4 to 8 ft along on an east to
west sweep will result in significant beach erosion and
flooding. Widespread dune erosion is likely with localized
overwashes possible, resulting in damage to dune structures and
localized flooding of roadways and vulnerable structures behind
