The storm had little amount of rain. There was also not much wind. However, the storm and another high pressure area caused high tides and strong waves. This caused some beach erosion damage on the coast. The waves killed two people in New Jersey from a boat sinking. It also destroyed three houses in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
