Anything with a gravitational force strong enough or close enough to reach Earth would effect the tides. Since this asteroid is so far away and quite smaller than the moon I would say in this case no. But if a really dense one came by or one came really really close to the Earth (less than the distance to the moon) then it might have an affect for the few moments when the Earth came within its gravitational field.
From what I understand the gravity of an object would have more effect on the weather then it would on the water, it's easier to pull storm systems around then tons of water. Again, I don't think this particular asteriod is close enough to bother us even in that way.
I know we've been having some major storms come by us in NYC, but yesterday the East River was the highest I have even seen it. There was a very strange current, like the water was being pulled away from the ocean, not towards it.
Well it's be raining a lot in the area because of the hurricanes. The flooding is probably just due to increased river output which can come from quite a distance if the river connects to a lot of other smaller rivers.
There is also a lot of talk about a global natural shift or something like that. We have been having more and more natural disasters lately around the world, hurricane, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and eruptions have all increased.
Personally I think this sort of stuff is cyclical like ice ages. There are calm times and then like now their are very active times. I have no scientific reasoning for this, just gut feeling. It's possible that this could all be from global warming but it's possible it's 'normal' and humans just haven't been around to notice it before (or at least record it).
