A storm with 56 mph winds would not be a hurricane; it would be a moderate tropical storm. Winds must be at least 74 mph for a storm to be a hurricane.

A tropical storm with such winds may break some tree limbs and down a few trees. Some very weak structures may be damaged.

The rain from such a storm could cause significant flooding. How much would be difficult to predict as flooding risk does not depend on wind speed.

What are the differences between hurricane Irene and hurricane Katrina?

Hurricane Katrina was by far a worse hurricane. Katrina reached peak intensity as a category 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds before making landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast as a category 3 with 120-125 mph winds. It had made previous strikes in the Bahamas as a tropical storm and in Florida as a category 1 hurricane. Overall Katrina cause $105 billion in damage and killed 1836 people, marking it as the most destructive and one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history. Irene peaked as a Category 3 hurricane over the Bahamas with 120 mph winds before making three consecutive landfalls in the U.S. as a category 1 hurricane/tropical storm with 85 mph, 75 mph and 65 mph winds respectively. Other landfalls occurred in the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico as a tropical storm, and in the islands of the Bahamas with strength varying from category 1 to category 3. Irene killed 56 people and caused $7-10 billion in damage, which still makes it a very destructive hurricane.
