HENRI CONTINUES TO WEAKEN OVER LAND
CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
STORM INFORMATION:
Henri is inland and weakening as it continues to push further inland.
Henri will lift northwestward into early Monday morning. Henri then will
move eastward across southern New England moving into the Gulf of
Maine on Tuesday. Flooding rain is still a risk as Henri exits the
region.
FLOODING RAIN:
Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across
Connecticut and western Massachusetts tonight. As Henri moves across
southern New England tomorrow there will be renewed rainfall that may
produce flooding. Remain well guarded against life- threatening flood
waters having further impacts of extensive potential.
WIND:
Little to no additional wind impacts expected.
RECOVERY PHASE - Do not enter evacuated areas until officials have
given the all clear to return.
If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas
leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged
metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws.
Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to
those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious
injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to
arrive quickly.
Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your
location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do
not tie up communications systems.
Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their
points of contact.
Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate
road hazards.
Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities
give the all clear. Allow time for officials to inspect bridges and
overpasses and to mark washed-out roads.
When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes.
Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance.
Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can
be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure
about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience
do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.
If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in
a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from
open doors and windows.
Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which
may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts
and heed any flood watches and warnings.
Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered
with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have
been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover
the road. Turn around, don't drown!
As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement
issued by the National Weather Service in Boston/Norton MA regarding
the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
