(Image Credit: AccuWeather) Henri was moving northeast on Saturday morning, packing 70-mph sustained winds, after making a full turn to the north on Friday, and AccuWeather forecasters say the storm, set to strengthen into a hurricane, is on a collision course with Long Island, New York. It's been nearly 36 years since a hurricane delivered a direct hit to Long Island. The last hurricane to make landfall on Long Island was Gloria, when it came ashore as a Category 1 storm on Sept. 27, 1985. AccuWeather meteorologists urged those in the path of Henri to complete preparations for the storm as soon as possible as conditions were expected to begin deteriorating in less than 24 hours. Henri is rated a 1 on the AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale for Hurricanes in the United States due to the anticipated rainfall, damaging winds and storm surge set to impact Long Island and New England. As of early Saturday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Henri was swirling over the Atlantic about 200 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 525 miles south of Montauk Point, New York, which is the very end of Long Island. The storm had picked up considerable forward speed by Saturday morning and was moving north-northeast at 12 mph, up from a slow 7-mph forward speed a day earlier. The storm had grown somewhat as well, with tropical-storm-force winds extending up to 115 miles out from the center. Around midweek, the storm was much more compact, with tropical-storm-force winds extending about 80 miles out from the center. Hurricane warnings were issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on Friday afternoon for many areas, including portions of Long Island, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Hurricane watches were in effect elsewhere, including southeastern Massachusetts. By Friday evening, tropical storm warnings were issued for much of southern New England, Long Island and southern New York, including New York City. But, as of Saturday morning, the hurricane watches in effect for Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket had been discontinued by the NHC. Martha's Vineyard is instead under a tropical storm and storm surge warning. Nantucket is also under a storm surge warning. AccuWeather forecasters caution that impacts from Henri will be significant and calls for preparations ahead of the storm should be taken incredibly seriously. Henri is forecast to bring torrential downpours, strong wind gusts and inundating storm surge to coastal areas of the Northeast beginning early Sunday. In terms of landfall, Henri is expected to come ashore along the eastern part of Long Island, between West Hampton and Amagansett. This includes a stretch of New York known as the Hamptons -- home to some of the priciest real estate in the country. It is also a popular vacation spot for celebrities, many of whom have second homes there. Real estate is so valuable, there is an area that is nicknamed "billionaire's lane." The heaviest rain is likely to fall just to the north and west of Henri's exact track. Heavy rain will first arrive across Long Island and southern New England early Sunday morning before spreading over portions of New York and northern New England by Monday. The heaviest rainfall of 4-8 inches with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 12 inches will aim for the eastern tip of Long Island, parts of Connecticut, Rhode Island and western Massachusetts. For many New Englanders, Henri will be the first real brush with a hurricane in decades -- and maybe ever for some. "This is the most serious hurricane risk in New England in 30 years, since Hurricane Bob in 1991," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist and Senior Vice President of Weather Content and Forecast Operations Jon Porter said of the looming threat. The drenching rainfall set to be unleashed by Henri comes just days after parts of the Northeast were soaked by Tropical Rainstorm Fred. "Since Fred unloaded several inches of rain, Henri's second dose of heavy, tropical rainfall may trigger flash flooding in the region more easily," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Courtney Travis said. The already saturated ground will also be a concern when it comes to Henri's anticipated strong winds. "In soggy, saturated ground, tree roots can lose their grip in the soil more easily due to the root system being compromised," AccuWeather Meteorologist Reneé Duff explained. "As a result, it takes a much lower wind gust to knock over a tree sitting in wet soil as opposed to dry soil."

Strong winds are also going to be a threat as Henri strikes coast areas. Widespread wind gusts of 40-60 mph are forecast to impact areas from Long Island to Maine from Sunday into Monday. The strongest winds with Henri will likely occur along and just east of the storm's path. Wind gusts upwards of 80 mph with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 100 mph are most likely from eastern Long Island into portions of eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island Sunday morning, largely in the hours surrounding landfall. Winds of this magnitude will likely be enough to cause significant damage to trees, which can subsequently cause damage to power lines. AccuWeather forecasters are seriously concerned about the risk for widespread and perhaps prolonged power outages in the wake of Henri and the damage the storm is expected to cause. On Friday, PSE&G Long Island warned in a press release that given the potential intensity of the storm, some resulting outages could last up to seven to 10 days, with the eastern end of Long Island expected to experience the most severe weather and impact. Another significant risk with Henri will be its potential to produce a dangerous storm surge. "Henri's strong winds will funnel water into bays and inlets and raise the water level along the coast," Travis said. Henri's arrival on Long Island will also coincide with a full moon on Sunday. This combination could bring higher tides and more widespread coastal flooding than what could occur during a different lunar phase. A landfall earlier during the day on Sunday could make the situation more difficult, according to AccuWeather Broadcast Meteorologist Melissa Constanzer. Sunday's high tide at Hampton Bays, which is between West Hampton and Southampton, will occur around 8:54 a.m. EDT, with the peak of the full moon on Sunday at 8:01 a.m. EDT. "That will be an exaggerated high tide before landfall," Constanzer warned. Forecasters are currently anticipating Henri to make landfall in eastern Long Island during the late-morning hours of Sunday. Storm surge of 1-3 feet is forecast to expand from the southern New Jersey coast to Maine, and a 3- to 6-foot storm surge is anticipated from eastern Long Island to Cape Cod. AccuWeather forecasters further caution that impacts from Henri will not be confined to just the Northeast. The majority of the East Coast will experience some indirect impacts from Henri as the storm plows northward. "Henri will remain offshore of the mid-Atlantic beaches as it moves northward through Saturday. Even still, beaches from Savannah, Georgia, to Atlantic City, New Jersey, can expect some indirect impacts from the storm," Travis explained. These impacts include, but are not limited to, rough surf and rip currents. According to data from NOAA, more people have died as a result of rip currents on a yearly basis over the last decade than from lightning strikes or due to impacts from extreme cold combined. AccuWeather meteorologists began warning that the Atlantic coast, including southern New England, would be at risk for tropical weather impacts this season in the annual fall forecast released in early August.

(NOAA) Interestingly, the weather system that gave rise to Henri started out nearly two weeks ago as a cluster of thunderstorms over the middle of the continental U.S. That weather system raced across the country and headed out to sea over the Atlantic, where on Monday it formed into Tropical Storm Henri near Bermuda. If Henri hits where AccuWeather forecasters are predicting, it will be the first hurricane in decades to make landfall on Long Island. Gloria's Long Island landfall in late September of 1985 was the storm's second U.S. landfall after it hit the Outer Banks a day earlier. Gloria, which peaked at Category 4 force, had been billed by the media as "The Storm of the Century" but weakened considerably by the time it reached Long Island. When it struck western Lond Island, between John F. Kennedy International Airport and Islip, its forward speed was 40 mph and sustained winds were about 86 mph. Some 380,000 from North Carolina to Connecticut were evacuated ahead of Gloria. Overall, Gloria was blamed for eight fatalities and $900 million in damages, about $2.2 billion in 2021 dollars. Henri is forecast to continue north after striking Long Island and make a second landfall in New England. As long as Henri maintains its hurricane designation, as forecast, it will be only the eighth time a hurricane has struck New England since 1900. The last hurricane to make landfall in New England was Bob in 1991. Bob made landfalls in Rhode Island and Maine and caused $1 billion in damage in Massachusetts. Winds greater than 100 mph and severe coastal flooding blasted Massachusetts during Bob’s rampage.
还有给车加满油。还有什么???

Long Island Bracing for Direct Strike From Strengthening Henri 08-21-2021 Accuweather
我看有邻居在出门。不知道是不是在撤离?要不要去宾州躲一躲?来势汹汹啊。昨晚开始警报无数。
现在更担心的是会不会直接被淹?房子会不会出事?这次是直接登陆啊。
我在挣扎人要不要逃难到宾州,你居然在考虑你的菜?
老鼠会游泳。。。。
抱抱。我也是有些害怕ing。要不别买了,咱直接去宾州躲几天?会不会有些夸张?
你说的正面登陆,是长岛吗?
呃, 那也不必吧。。。。
不撤!
下午紧急抢收一部分,剩下的听天由命吧。
有颗小西红柿,长在阴处,以前如果间苗优种,肯定要拔掉的,但一时心软留下了, 这颗柔弱的西红柿一点点长着,借着有限时间可以照射微弱的阳光,一点点长,后来,阳光不够,就匍匐着趴下来,趴在其他西红柿的间隙里长。。。别的西红柿都又高又大,结了几茬的果了,这颗小的才刚刚开花。
就迎来了这场无情的飓风。。。
哎,我们出去旅行吧~~~
昨天半夜收到一个text,还以为是骗人的
纽约公园里到处都是老鼠
都收进来吧,不然的话可能会被风吹起来飞得到处都是,砸到房子就不好了
哎,别提了。我出门旅游顺便逃难的想法,在本地群里收到的反应就是笑 cry了。
明明直升机刚刚一直在头顶盘旋,凭啥大家都能如此淡定自若呢?凭啥啊?哈哈
借你吉言,真心希望这次也是如此。。
你在Hampton? 这次据说正对Hampton而来
电力公司已经事先声明要停电7-10 天了
不在。但整个area都有影响啊。你没有去宾州避避的打算?
算了来不及了, 新冠期间出个门也担心。。。。。。。。。。。
sandy那次我也经历过。我在的area居然没有停电。非常幸运。门外倒了很多一人抱的大树。。
没有发电机,真的停7-10天,冰箱里的东西都要报销了
去年飓风大停电, 电力公司给每家赔了200 多块食品损失费
发电机也有安全隐患 。
去年擦身而过的那场飓风,我们这停了3天电。有些地方也停了1周左右。
很多人买了发电机,结果在新闻里看到了发电机使用不当导致火灾的报道。还不止一起。
Nassau的应该ok
我离水边3个block, 属于高地,也没有停电停水停气,不用上班,爽的一b
赶紧收割一波进屋。
有钱大佬们要直面hurricane了?
放心吧,树肯定会到一批的,会有房子的烟囱被吹到,屋顶被破坏,地下室进水,如果这就是你所说的对建筑和植物的破坏力有限。。。你们都没经历过当年的irene和sandy么,还是那两次都没影响到长岛?
Sandy 长岛损失惨重, 尤其south shore
大佬们各处都有房子都到其他安全地区的房子逍遥了
Sandy 主要是StorM surge. 这次浪的预报没有Sandy 高。
记得那时候加油站到处没有,后来军队送油来着,是不是不要钱?
怎么可能不要钱。想什么呢你。。,油价不便宜。还得排几个小时的队。。
哈哈,谢谢安慰
哈哈哈,被无情嘲笑了。好吧,看来情况不算糟糕。我的心也定一点了。
俺们不是被sandy吓坏了咩。而且,去年一个擦身而过的飓风停电那么久,3天,已经难以忍受了。出门连红绿灯都没电。。
抱抱。我上午后知后觉发现飓风直接在纽约登陆,也紧张万分。现在情绪平稳了好多。
该买的也买了。也不打算出逃了。安静在家等候飓风过境吧。
咱要像暴风雨来临前的海燕一样勇敢,哈哈
看着不错,在停电前吃完。我正在清理冰箱里的存货。各种饺子包子都抓出来煮了。。
不能看级数, Sandy只有三级, 可是破坏力惊人
您别吓唬我。我刚刚镇定下来,不打算出逃了。哈哈
抱抱妹妹,确实需要淡定,准备就绪就等待结果吧
这种小台风,没事的,不要怕。最坏不过断电生活麻烦一些,台风本身不到恐怖的程度,连精彩视频都不一定能流传几个。我小时候世博会,有天看到三台风袭击上海,第一反应就是那天世博园肯定不排队!于是真的顶着三台风趟着脚踝深的水去逛世博了,那天果然不排队,哈哈哈哈哈。
不吓你, 我们东部人民和佛州大侠们不能比, 我们的设施太老旧不堪一击, 去年大停电的飓风Isaias 也只有一级
嗯嗯,淡定。马上出门给车加油。再买点冰块。也就只能这样了。。
哈哈,淡定姐!膜拜!你们波士顿好像也会受影响。提前预备一些水和干粮吧。
是哒。扭腰的设施太老旧太不堪一击,这是美帝?看着就像第三世界!
嗯,我今天早上出门给车补满油,买了一堆卫龙家的小龙虾,想想又拿了几罐八宝粥,家里瓶装水半箱还有很多alchemist stowe的啤酒,所以水不用,昨天已经给家里电池补满了电,想想应该没什么了,就买了只三十刀的温哥华蟹,做了一锅蟹粥吃。今天蟹粥明天小龙虾,后天大概要去上班了,一切如常。
并没有~~~
哈哈哈哈
PSE&G 给用户赔的, 只要网上填个表, 很快到帐,
有的 我们这边
你这完全暴露了你住在哪儿
这家电力公司在NJ,NY都有业务
NY是ConEd的。也可能是我无知了。
我去年也没有拿。昏
