The National Weather Service has issued flood warnings through Monday for large swathes of the North East coast, including Waterbury, Danbury and Fairfield CT.
Another warning lasting until 2pm covers Jefferson, Lewis and Oswego counties in New York state. Advisories are also in place for parts of Delaware, New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania.
Meteorologists have warned motorists in the worst-hit areas to brace for 'heavy water flows across roadways' which could cut some towns off.
The East Coast is also being battered by rough surf spawned by Hurricane Ernesto, which is continuing to swirl after making landfall as a Category 1 storm in Bermuda on Saturday.
Lashing waves contributed to the downfall of an unoccupied beach house along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina´s Outer Banks on Friday.
The stunning two-story home plummeted into the ocean and broke apart in the surging waves after being hit by a swell.
Seashore officials urged the public Sunday to avoid beaches in parts of the village of Rodanthe where 'substantial damage' to several oceanfront structures occurred.
The hurricane also prompted the National Park Service and NYC Parks to shut down every beach in Brooklyn and Queens due to the potentially life-threatening riptides.

Passengers at LaGuardia Airport wait for flights to resume. Hundreds of planes were grounded due to heavy rain in New York City, United States on August 19, 2024
On New York's Long Island, East Hampton Village Mayor Jerry Larsen said beaches were closed to swimmers over the weekend because high tides pushed water right up to the base of the dunes 'so you can´t really have people sitting on the beach.'
Many people watched the water from the parking lot Sunday, he added.
'It´s quite a sight to see the water coming up almost to the parking lot, and if you think about it that storm was hundreds of miles offshore so it must have been quite powerful,' Larsen said.
The annual fireworks show that normally attracts thousands of people was canceled Saturday night and again for Sunday night, according to Larsen.
