I don't think it'll be like Sandy but the slow motion will make everything that much worse. This will be moving 20 mph slower than the slowest hurricane up there. The water i do agree will be the biggest problem but the winds up there especially prolonged can cause a lot of damage too because the infrastructure is so old. I believe there was issues from Isaias last year and it was long falling apart when it got up there (made landfall in NC for reference)
Im also still a little concerned about NYC if the west trends don't stop that angle would be a nightmare for surge in the harbor but hopefully it stays east
Yeah people forget just last year Isaias gave NYC gust to 60-80 mph.......being on the west side its possible this does not exceed those gust they had last year in NYC.....Long Island out to the eastern shore of Conn and RI is the place to be for this one....
Currently Henri looking a little rough, pressure is up 3mb since the plane got out there as well....shear still keeping him slightly tilted....
