As Nestor began to approach the coast of the Florida Panhandle, the same region that was severely affected by Hurricane Michael the previous year, it led to winds to gale-force and storm surge to take upon the region.
Tides 2–4 feet above normal were recorded in several parts of the region as well, causing some minor coastal flooding.
Heavy rain and the surging waves generated by the storm system also caused flash flooding in parts of the region, with some areas topping with 4 inches of rain.
These rains, however, proved to be somewhat beneficial.
A drought in the Southeastern United States was relieved as Nestor and its post-tropical remnant brought rain to the areas, with a meteorologist stating "The rain on the whole was a positive for the entire region – unless you had outdoor plans.".

Perhaps the legacy of Nestor, however, was the tornado outbreak it caused across the Southeastern United States.
Although Nestor was not classified as a tropical cyclone anymore at the time of its landfall, it spawned numerous supercells, which ultimately lead to the spawning of several tornadoes.
The National Weather Service (NWS) only confirmed three tornadoes, one reaching EF2 status.
One of the tornadoes, only reaching EF0 status, was recorded in Seminole, Florida and damaged a mobile home park.
An EF2 tornado which tracked 9 miles also touched down in western Polk County, damaging over 50 homes and other buildings, including a middle school.
The tornado also overturned an 18-wheeled vehicle which fell on top of a SUV, but no injuries were reported.
A final EF1 tornado formed near Cape Coral in Lee County damaging several homes.
No injuries or deaths were reported from any of the tornadoes.

Additionally, heavy rains generated by Nestor's extratropical remnant caused a car crash in South Carolina, killing 3 people.
