      • Henri live updates: Outer bands begin to reach New England coast, Long Island

        Hurricane Henri continues to churn toward the Northeast after becoming a Category 1 hurricane Saturday morning.

        Henri is currently located 80 miles south-southeast of Montauk Point, New York, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, as of 5 a.m. Sunday.

        Dangerous storm surge, hurricane conditions and flooding rain is expected in parts of the Northeast.

        Landfall is projected to occur late Sunday morning in eastern Long Island or, possibly skirting Montauk, could make landfall in Rhode Island.

        If Henri makes landfall as a hurricane on Long Island, it will be the first there since Gloria in 1985.: https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updat...s/?id=79575208

        • Henri Downgraded to Tropical Storm, Makes Landfall

          Henri, which was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday morning, made landfall in New England shortly after noon.

          The National Hurricane Center says Henri came ashore in the Rhode Island coastal town of Westerly around 12:30 p.m. It had earlier passed over Block Island, a small but popular tourist island 13 miles offshore in Block Island Sound. Henri was packing maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour and it was producing 19-foot waves in some places just before making landfall.

          The storm is currently on a steady weakening trend. An area of 60 to 75 mph wind gusts have verified around Narragansett Bay, and eastern Massachusetts will see occasional gusts of 40 to 60 mph. But this should be limited to squalls.: https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local...unday/2472945/

          • Moving inland, Tropical Storm Henri drenches Northeast

            Tropical Storm Henri socked the Northeast with heavy wind and rain as it made landfall Sunday on the coast of Rhode Island, knocking out power to over 100,000 homes and causing deluges that closed bridges, swamped roads and left many people stranded in their vehicles.

            The storm was downgraded from a hurricane before reaching New England, leaving many to breathe a sigh of relief in a region that has not taken a direct hit from a hurricane in decades. There were few early reports of major damage due to wind or surf.

            But the storm’s heavy, sustained rains raised concerns about flooding from the storm that threatened to stall over the region before pivoting to the East and moving out to the Atlantic Ocean on Monday night. Some of the highest rain totals were expected inland.

            By Sunday afternoon, Henri had sustained winds of about 50 mph as it moved inland across Connecticut, according to the National Hurricane Center. When it made landfall near Westerly, R.I., it had sustained winds of about 60 mph and gusts of up to 70 mph.

            Several major bridges in Rhode Island, which stitch together much of the state, were briefly shuttered Sunday, and some coastal roads were nearly impassable.

            Rhode Island has been hit by hurricanes and tropical storms periodically — including Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Irene in 2011 and Hurricane Bob in 1991. The city of Providence sustained so much flooding damage from a hurricane in 1938 and Hurricane Carol in 1954 that it built a hurricane barrier in the 1960s to protect its downtown from a storm surge coming up Narragansett Bay. That barrier — and newer gates built nearby — were closed Sunday.

            Some communities in central New Jersey were inundated with as much as 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain by midday Sunday. In Jamesburg, television video footage showed flooded downtown streets and cars almost completely submerged.

            In Newark, Public Safety Director Brian O’Hara said police and firefighters rescued 86 people in 11 incidents related to the storm. He said “significant flooding” led to multiple vehicles submerged in flooded areas.

            In a region where the ground in many areas is saturated from recent rains, the forecast had some fearing the worst effects of the rainfall were still to come.

            Marshall Shepherd, director of the atmospheric sciences program at the University of Georgia and former president of the American Meteorological Society, said Henri was reminiscent in some ways of Hurricane Harvey, a slow-moving storm that decimated the Houston area in 2017, exacerbated when bands of rain set up east of the city, a phenomenon meteorologists call “training.”: https://apnews.com/article/tropical-...81da6cbbd6dc18

            • In photos: Tropical Storm Henri hits New England



              Tropical Storm Henri made landfall in Rhode Island Sunday afternoon, sweeping up the New England coastline with damaging winds, storm surge flooding and torrential rainfall.

              Why it matters: "This storm has the potential for widespread consequences across the region," President Biden said Sunday, noting that government has mobilized resources to help the afflicted areas.

              Biden added that he had already approved emergency declarations for Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.: https://www.axios.com/photos-tropica...d4fa66927.html

              • Tennessee flooding leaves at least 22 people dead and dozens missing

                Severe flooding in parts of middle Tennessee has left at least 22 people dead and dozens of others unaccounted for, local authorities said on Sunday.

                The latest: Waverly Chief of Public Safety Grant Gillespie told reporters search-and-rescue were working into the night to find those missing from Saturday's flooding, driven by heavy rainfall.
                • Gillespie noted that with the extreme weather causing internet and phone lines to go down in some places — including the 911 emergency line — rescuers were conducting "old school" work, conducting door-to-door checks.
                • In Waverly, Humphreys County — the town hit hardest by the flooding — hundreds of homes were left uninhabitable, and the waters snapped power lines and "slabs of roadway peeled from the ground," the Tennessean reports.
                • Officials announced an 8 p.m. curfew in Waverly.

                By the numbers: 17.02 inches of rain had fallen in the city of McEwen from midnight to just before 10.30p.m. Saturday ET — meaning it "likely broke the all-time 24 hour rainfall record for the state," the NWS tweeted.

                The big picture: The National Weather Service issued its most dire flood alert for the affected area on Saturday as relentless heavy rain caused creeks to overflowed amid a "flash flood emergency."
                • The water from the Saturday's flooding has started to recede in some areas, per the Washington Post.

                What they're saying: Speaking from the White House Sunday evening, President Biden expressed his "deepest condolences for the sudden and tragic loss of life" due to the flash flooding.
                • The White House has reached out to the community and stands ready to offer its support, the president added.
                • Waverly Mayor Buddy Frazier told WKRN: "This is the most devastating disaster that we’ve every experienced in this area."

                Of note: A UN IPCC report on climate science published earlier this month found that extreme precipitation events, including heavy downpours, are becoming more frequent and severe.

                  • Venezuela floods leave at least 20 dead, over 1,200 buildings destroyed

                    Multiple floods and mudslides in Venezuela have left 20 people dead and more than 1,200 buildings destroyed.

                    The Venezuelan state of Merida was hit hard after heavy rains battered the area, causing rivers to overflow, Reuters reported on Thursday.

                    A ruling Socialist Party official announced the death toll on Wednesday, after Merida's governor Ramon Guevara detailed the extent of damage to homes and businesses.

                    Rescue parties were looking for 17 missing people, Guevara said on Wednesday.

                    The governor also said that the state and local governments didn't have the resources needed to help the hardest hit towns, some of which don’t have electricity, Reuters reported.

                    The severity and frequency of floods have increased worldwide, with a recent study showing climate change has contributed to deadly floods in Western Europe.: https://thehill.com/policy/internati...ings-destroyed

                      • Hurricane Ida forecast to reach Category 4 strength as Louisiana coast braces for direct hit

                        Ida strengthened into a hurricane Friday afternoon as Gulf Coast states prepared for a direct hit from the storm, which forecasters warn could rapidly intensify into one of the strongest storms of the Atlantic hurricane season so far.

                        The New Orleans area is under a hurricane warning after the National Hurricane Center on Friday afternoon issued hurricane and storm surge warnings for portions of the Gulf Coast. Ida was forecast to reach Category 4 strength, with winds estimated at 140 mph, before it makes landfall Sunday afternoon or evening, the National Hurricane Center said.

                        New Orleans issued mandatory evacuations for coastal communities outside the city's levee system, which protects from flooding. The city's mayor, LaToya Cantrell, ordered those in coastal communities bordering both Lake Borgne and Lake Pontchartrain – two large bodies of water that connect to the Gulf of Mexico – to leave immediately.: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ne/5615040001/

                        • Ida aims to hit Louisiana on Hurricane Katrina anniversary

                          Hurricane Ida struck Cuba on Friday and threatened to slam into Louisiana with devastating force over the weekend, prompting evacuations in New Orleans and across the coastal region.

                          Ida intensified rapidly Friday from a tropical storm to a hurricane with top winds of 80 mph (128 kph) as it crossed western Cuba and entered the Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center predicted Ida would strengthen into an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane, with top winds of 140 mph (225 kph) before making landfall along the U.S. Gulf Coast late Sunday.

                          “This will be a life-altering storm for those who aren’t prepared,” National Weather Service meteorologist Benjamin Schott said during a Friday news conference with Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards.

                          The governor urged residents to quickly prepare, saying: “By nightfall tomorrow night, you need to be where you intend to be to ride out the storm.”

                          New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell ordered a mandatory evacuation for a small area of the city outside the levee system. But with the storm intensifying so much over a short time, she said it wasn’t possible to do so for the entire city. That generally calls for using all lanes of some highways to leave the city.

                          “The city cannot order a mandatory evacuation because we don’t have the time,” Cantrell said.

                          City officials said residents need to be prepared for prolonged power outages, and asked elderly residents to consider evacuating. Collin Arnold, the city’s emergency management director, said the city could be under high winds for about ten hours.

                          Other areas across the coastal region were under a mix of voluntary and mandatory evacuations. The storm is expected to make landfall on the exact date Hurricane Katrina devastated a large swath of the Gulf Coast exactly 16 years earlier. Capt. Ross Eichorn, a fishing guide on the coast about 70 miles (112 kilometers) southwest of New Orleans, said he fears warm Gulf waters will “make a monster” out of Ida.

                          “With a direct hit, ain’t no telling what’s going to be left — if anything,” Eichorn said. He added: “Anybody that isn’t concerned has got something wrong with them.”

                          A hurricane warning was issued for most of the Louisiana coast from Intracoastal City to the mouth of the Pearl River. A tropical storm warning was extended to the Mississippi-Alabama line.

                          If that forecast holds true, Ida would hit 16 years to the day that Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm with 125 mph (201 kph) winds near the riverside community of Buras, just down the Mississippi River from New Orleans.

                          Katrina is blamed for an estimated 1,800 deaths from the central Louisiana coast to around the Mississippi-Alabama state line. A massive storm surge scoured the shores and wiped houses off the map. In New Orleans, failures of federal levees led to catastrophic flooding. Water covered 80% of the city and many homes were swamped to the rooftops. Some victims drowned in their attics. The Superdome and New Orleans Convention Center became scenes of sweltering misery as tens of thousands were stranded without power or running water.

                          Memories of Katrina still haunt many who scrambled to prepare for Ida on Friday, lining up for groceries, gas and ice, as well as sandbags that the city was offering.: https://apnews.com/article/new-orlea...76aa270a63f724

                          • 'Time is not on our side.' Gulf Coast braces for Sunday arrival of Hurricane Ida, potentially a Category 4 storm


                            New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell on Saturday warned residents planning to voluntarily evacuate -- which she recommended -- to get out now.

                            "Time is not on our side. It's just rapidly growing. It's intensifying," the mayor said at a news conference, referring to Ida. "If you're voluntarily evacuating our city, now is the time to leave -- you need to do so immediately. If you're planning to ride it out, again, make sure that you're able to hunker down."

                            Ida is anticipated to reach at least Category 4 strength before landfall, the National Hurricane Center said, maintaining its earlier forecast. Tropical storm-force winds could reach New Orleans about 8 a.m. Sunday before the storm makes landfall that afternoon or evening west of New Orleans near Houma and Morgan City.

                            "Ida is expected to be an extremely dangerous major hurricane when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Sunday," National Hurricane Center forecasters said Saturday morning. At 2 p.m. ET, the storm had strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph.: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/28/w...day/index.html
