The northeastern U.S. is bracing for its first direct hit from a hurricane in years as Hurricane Henri continued to barrel north Saturday.
The system, which was upgraded to a hurricane with winds of 75 mph as of 8 p.m. Saturday, is forecast to slam into Long Island or southern New England on Sunday at or near hurricane strength, with winds that could approach 80 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.
Hurricane and storm surge warnings were in effect for portions of Long Island and southern New England, the National Hurricane Center said. Over 5 million people live where a hurricane warning is in place, the National Weather Service reported. A satellite image shows Tropical Storm Henri moving toward the Northeast coast on Friday, August 20. 2021. Henri is expected to become the first hurricane to affect the New England area in decades.
"So if you have to move, if you have to stock up, if you have to get to higher ground, it has to be today," he said.
