The storm caused significant flooding, power outages, and road closures across the region, with water levels reaching up to four feet in some areas. Residents noted the presence of a small shark, likely a dogfish, wich is common in the region and posed no threat to humans. Officials advised caution due to debris and strong currents but did not issue specific beach closures related to the shark sighting.
