It wasn't the Labor Day weekend many East Coast residents and visitors had planned.
After slamming into Florida as a Category 1 hurricane early Friday, Hermine churned up the eastern seaboard with heavy rain, high winds and flooding.
On Sunday, Hermine was technically a post-tropical cyclone off the shores of Long Island, New York, and Ocean City, Maryland, according to the National Weather Service.

Much of the damage expected from Hermine will be caused by flooding because of the storm surge and heavy precipitation, according to catastrophe modeling firm AIR Worldwide. On Sunday, coastal communities in at least six states were under the threat of flooding.
