- Four people, including a 1-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, were injured by a falling tree in Brooklyn, while a separate tree-related incident killed a 56-year-old NYCHA repairman.
- Floodwaters forced residents in Queens and Broad Channel to deal with significant inundation, with some describing the worst flooding since Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
- The storm produced unusual scenes such as fish swimming in driveways and seagulls hunting in flooded streets, while in New Jersey, strong winds caused portable toilets to roll across a parking lot near MetLife Stadium.
- Despite fears sparked by a swimmer apparently vanishing into rough waves near Fire Island, authorities confirmed the individual was found safe, ending the search.
