Hurricane Henri moves toward Northeast, US East Coast warned of damages

Hurricane Henri closed in on the Northeast on Saturday, with landfall expected on Sunday. US East Coast has been warned of significant damages.

Preparations for a storm grew more urgent Saturday as the newly upgraded Hurricane Henri closed in on the Northeast. Landfall is expected Sunday. Forecasters predict a dangerous storm surge could occur as early as late Saturday in portions of Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. The storm surge and tide could cause high water in coastal New England as Henri moves inland, while heavy rain and wind may also produce flooding.
