Henri is looking to be quite troublesome!

Breezing on by the Jersey Shore (it seems) but I worry about my son and his family on Long Island. The price to pay when one chooses to live near the Atlantic Ocean.

I haven’t been paying attention. I figured it was another one of those “outer winds just brushes by the coast/Cape” things. This is coming straight at us

How many hours do you have? Do you know what supplies you need and what to do?

Until Sunday by midday here I think. Spouses regular grocery run is tonight -eek that’s probably not going to be fun. So we’ll be able to get necessities.
ugh our ground here is soaked currently so my biggest personal concern are trees coming down (coupled with the wind and more water) on my house and Of course extended power loss.

My aunt & uncle are in NH for the summer and we joked that they had to leave FL to experience a hurricane!

Everyone please get to high ground and stay safe!

Big Apple goes on hurricane watch as Henri changes course away from New England | Daily Mail Online


Tropical Storm Henri could bring 'dangerous storm surges' and hurricane-strength winds of up to 75mph to the New York City area nine years after the Big Apple was battered by Hurricane Sandy.

The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for New York City effective until further notice. The agency has predicted 2 to 4 inches of rain and up to 40mph winds with gusts as high as 50mph in the city.

Meanwhile, meteorologists with Accuweather said that Henri is expected to hit the Hamptons on eastern Long Island with winds up to 75 mph - which would be enough to classify the storm as a Category 1 hurricane.

Models from the Czech meteorological company VentuSky show Henri developing into a hurricane before it passes over western Long Island before hitting Manhattan and continuing into upstate New York.

I'm at the Jersey Shore right now. Just observed an ocean rescue where a dad and his daughter went out a bit too far and the waves were pounding them. Lifeguards were spot on! And quick! I'm actually surprised they're allowing swimming. JMO

Henri to hit NY as Category 1 hurricane with 85mph winds and Cuomo declares state of emergency | Daily Mail Online


Tropical Storm Henri is set to hit New York state as a Category 1 hurricane sustained wind speeds of up to 80pmh and gusts of up to 100mph as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declares a State of Emergency.

In a briefing on Saturday afternoon, Cuomo warned that Hurricane Henri is 'as serious as a heart attack' and New York residents in parts of Long Island, particularly Fire Island, need to prepare to evacuate to higher ground as soon as possible.

'We have short notice. We're talking about tomorrow. If you have to move, if you have to stock up, if you have to get to higher ground it has to be today,' Cuomo said.

He added that the storm is predicted to be as dangerous as Superstorm Sandy in 2012, 'so, this is as serious as a heart attack'.

The State of Emergency is in place for Long Island, New York City, Westchester County, the Hudson Valley and the Capital Region.

Cuomo said Henri is forecasted to make landfall 7am on Sunday with the eye of the storm passing over Long Island by 11am. The storm is expected to batter the state for 26 hours before it subsides around 2pm on Monday.

First: OMG!

Second: You have time to prepare, follow the tips and advice. If you’re getting anxious and need information, we’re here. I’ve been through one (Dorian) in Nova Scotia. You can do it.

No idea exactly how hard it’s going to hit us, but you’re about a day ahead of us.
