Henri leaves tens of thousands in the Northeast without power
CBSN
What was once Hurricane Henri was still dumping rain in New England on Monday night, after knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
Henri carried enough muscle to batter the Northeast with high winds, and storm surge flooded streets and ripped down trees and power lines. On Sunday, more than 100,000 were left in the dark. "Part of the state got crushed," said New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. "It was a huge, massive rain event. This is double digit inches in some cases of rain. Unheard of."Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
