 Andrea was short @-@ lived , dissipating on May 11 . It was the first pre @-@ season storm to develop since Tropical Storm Ana in April 2003 and the first Atlantic named storm in May since Tropical Storm Arlene in 1981 . Six people drowned along the Southeast U.S. Coast . However , because Andrea never made landfall , most of the resulting damage was associated with large waves , higher than normal tides , associated coastal flooding , and beach erosion caused by the storm .
