Hurricane Henri Takes Aim At Northeast

Henri has become a Category 1 hurricane and is tracking to make landfall on Long Island. In addition to the Northeastern Seaboard being in the path, Boston appears to be in the direct path, as well. Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches, with isolated maximum totals of 10 inches, are expected over Long Island, New England, southeastern New York and northern New Jersey Sunday into Monday. Heavy rainfall may result in flash flooding and small stream flooding. Much of this region has experienced a very wet summer and recently received heavy rainfall from the remnant of Fred, meaning flooding is a significant threat. Inspectors and Field Service Technicians are advised to forewarn Clients about potential service disruptions as massive power outages are anticipated.
