very sad....The lives of animals are just as important as humans...
Check the exaggeration. Important? Yes. Just as important as humans? No way.

However, it seems to me that this storm will not be as damaging as feared...all the flooding I have seen so far has literally been right along the beach, the storm surge has inundated streets with a few feet of water about 4-5 blocks from the shore but I have yet to see devastating damage. Just my opinion here.

Of course not, because as the NHC and others have said for days, once the system becomes extra-tropical the wind field will expand, but at least as far as the lowest SLP that will be wherever it makes landfall in the next few hours...

an earlier arrival could actually be just as bad or a little worse. If the winds stay up very strong for a few hours after landfall (which is highly likely due to it's becoming hybrid), as the center comes ashore near Atlantic City the winds will turn to southeast here and that will push the water directly onto the local beaches and up into NY Harbor. So water could be piling up extraordinarily high as high tide comes in between 8 and 9PM tonight.

Probably not good news, eh?

Why is everybody focusing on the landfall? The greatest surge not in the core is when the wind is greatest and the direction is perpendicular to the coastline. This should happen as the storm is WSW of NYC, not at landfall. This may actually be worse than landfall at high tide.
But I'm an amateur.
