The latest on Tropical Storm Henri: The National Weather Service recorded what could be the wettest hour ever in Central Park, with 1.94 inches of rain drenching the park between 10-11 p.m. on Saturday. Another 2.24 inches fell there on Sunday.
The vast majority of customers who lost power in hard hit Rhode Island should be restored by mid-week, utility company National Grid said late Sunday.
In fact, the weekend was the wettest two-day period since Tropical Storm Irene swept through a decade ago, said Dominic Ramunni, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Upton, New York. The Democratic governor says National Grid already has crews out working on restoring electricity, and the goal is to get everyone back online by Tuesday.
Brian Foley, special assistant to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, said there was “water over the roadway on multiple lanes” and a couple accidents.Eversource, Connecticut’s largest electricity supplier, reported 32,902 of its 1.28 million customers in the state were without power as of mid-afternoon.
Brian Foley, special assistant to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, tweeted that traffic was reduced to one lane and there were multiple accidents. 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.”Rhode Island has reopened major bridges in the state to traffic but restrictions remain in place for some vehicles.
