NEW YORK - As Hurricane Henri inches closer to the Northeast, New Yorkers and New Englanders are once again reminded that tropical cyclones are possible, even that far up the East coast.
Hurricane Henri is on course to collide Sunday in the late morning or afternoon with a long stretch of coastline, as hurricane warnings extended from near the old whaling port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, across the luxurious oceanfront estates of New York’s Hamptons, to the summer getaway of Fire Island.Gov.
Andrew Cuomo pleaded with New York residents to make last-minute preparations, warning that heavy rain, winds and storm surges from Henri could be as devastating as Superstorm Sandy in some parts of the state.
