New England is bracing for its first direct hit from a hurricane in years as Henri upgraded to a hurricane on Saturday. Threatening to bring damaging winds, as much as 8 inches of rain and up to 5 feet of storm surge, Henri could be the first significant hurricane to affect the region in years. "This is the most serious hurricane risk in New England in 30 years, since Hurricane Bob in 1991," AccuWeather chief meteorologist Jon Porter said. Bob was a Category 2 storm that killed at least 17 people. #henri #hurricane
