As Hurricane Henri approaches New York and New England, here’s everything you need to know about the weather this weekend, which is tropical in name but not in the location:
HURRICANE HENRI HITTING THE NORTHWEST?
Probably! Rare tropical weather is sweeping up the Atlantic coast of the United States, destined for New York and New England, two areas where tropical systems are uncommon.
WHAT ARE THE AREA(S) THAT HENRI IS SUPPOSED TO AFFECT?
Long Island, New York, and southern New England, particularly Connecticut, look to be affected at the moment. If it makes landfall in New York, it will be the first direct hurricane strike on the state since Superstorm Sandy in 2012, whose aftermath is still being felt in the metropolis.
WHEN IS HENRY GOING TO MAKE LANDFALL?
It appears like it will be Sunday afternoon. If the storm stays on pace, it may hit Long Island as early as 11 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. If it does proceed east, it will most likely strike Rhode Island by 2 p.m. Its consequences, in any case, maybe noticed as early as Saturday night.
WHERE DOES HENRI COME FROM? WHERE DID BOB COME FROM? GLORIA, WHO IS IT?
A tumultuous trio. Henri became a hurricane early Saturday, and it’s possible that it’ll be the first in 30 years to hit New England. In August 1991, its precursor, Bob, was responsible for 17 fatalities and $1.5 billion in damage.
However, with Connecticut in Henri’s crosshairs, some may recall Gloria, the September 1985 hurricane that hit both Long Island and Connecticut, killing eight people and causing almost $1 billion in damage.

WHY DO I HAVE THE SAME NAME AS A HURRICANE, JE QU’APPELLE HENRI?
These storms have been given human names by the World Meteorological Association, which prepares a list of 21 names for each Atlantic hurricane season.
SO, WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN HENRI (OR A BOB OR A GLORIA)?
For a storm to go this far north, it needs two things: a tropical system and the ability to direct currents. According to the National Weather Service, most tropical systems in the northern hemisphere peter out or recur before they can make it north.
OKAY, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY. IS HENRI’S TRAVEL NOT RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE?
Hurricane Henri
According to the National Weather Service, it’s merely a tropical weather phenomenon. Climate change, on the other hand, isn’t blameless when it comes to tropical weather: it exacerbates storms, making them bigger and wetter.
WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE DO TO GET READY FOR HENRI?
This isn’t New England or New York’s first time dealing with extreme weather. A nor’easter is, after all, simply a storm with a Boston accent. In the Long Island dialect, it’s not much different.
As a result, the usual procedures apply: Remove the boats from the water, fill up the petrol tank, stock the pantry, and prepare to batten down the hatches. Be ready for power disruptions as well.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HENRI AND SANDY?
Sandy is referred regarded as a superstorm in these parts since it wasn’t a hurricane when it wreaked havoc on New York City, its suburbs, and the Jersey Shore in October 2012.
Henri isn’t expected to be too bad for the city or the coast, but it may produce catastrophic flooding in the Hudson River Valley, which is already saturated.
Power disruptions in the surrounding area might last a week or more. And, at the very least, with Sandy, there was more time to prepare. In a news conference on Saturday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo mentioned Sandy, saying Henri provided “short notice.”
CUOMO? IS HE STILL OUT THERE?
Hurricane Henri
Yes! Cuomo is still governor until Monday at 11:59 p.m., so he’s still in charge for now.
ARE THERE STILL TOURISTS ON THE ATLANTIC COAST IN THE DOG DAYS OF AUGUST?
Hurricane Henri As It Heads North
Yes, of course. Although the school has resumed in some sections of the east coast, hundreds of visitors continue to visit the beaches of Cape Cod, the Hamptons, and other destinations.
HENRI, IS SHE A FAST OR SLOW-MOVING STORM?
Henri isn’t winning any races right now, but it was slowly becoming faster on Saturday. Its sluggish churn might be a positive thing since it increases the likelihood of it collapsing soon. However, it might also indicate a lot of concentrated rain, which could result in floods.
WAS IT THE SAME HURRICANE BOB AS ‘THE PERFECT STORM?
What to Know About Hurricane Henri As It Heads North
Both storms happened in 1991. Two months later, New England was hit by the so-called “perfect storm,” also known as the Halloween Storm. It started out as a nor’easter, which was the type that caused the greatest havoc.
A hurricane formed in the center of the storm, but it was given no name because meteorologists believed it would be distracting.
WHAT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN KNOWN AS IF IT HAS BEEN NAMED?
In the Atlantic, hurricane names are renewed every six years unless they are abandoned owing to notoriety — Katrina, or even Bob, will be forgotten.
- The “H” name — Henri in 1991 — was next on the list when the storm came.
SO IT’S NOT ABOUT BOB IN THAT MOVIE?
Correct. The film “The Perfect Storm,” starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, was released in 2000 and was based on Sebastian Junger’s novel of the same name. But we’ve gone off the rails a little.
Irene was a hurricane when it hit Vermont, but it was just a tropical storm at the time.
Hurricane Henri is expected to make landfall in New York and New England. Forecasters predict the storm may hit Long Island as early as 11 a.m. on Sunday. If it hits New York, it will be the first direct impact on the city since Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

HENRI is a nor’easter with a Boston twang, but this isn’t New York or New England’s first rodeo with extreme weather.
The storm has the potential to cause floods in the Hudson River Valley as well as power disruptions across the region. Thousands of tourists continue to visit the beaches of Cape Cod, the Hamptons, and other destinations.
