Tropical Storm Henri was on course to make landfall on the US east coast Sunday, with millions in New England and New York's Long Island preparing for flash flooding, violent winds and power outages.
The US National Hurricane Center said in its 11:00 am advisory that Henri was 15 miles southeast of Montauk Point in New York state.
"There's still a lot to worry about. We're not out of harm's way," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters Sunday morning. A swath of the northeastern coastline, including New York City, was under alert as the storm approached. If Henri is upgraded again then it would be the first hurricane to hit New England in 30 years.
Henri was anticipated to miss New York City by several miles, but still caused tropical storm conditions overnight. The NHC warned of "a dangerous storm surge, hurricane conditions and flooding" in areas of southern New England and Long Island. High winds are expected to knock out electricity for hundreds of thousands of people across the region and delay countless flights.
