"This is a life-threatening situation," warned senior hurricane specialist Daniel Brown, as Tropical Storm Henri rolled across Block Island before making landfall on the coastal Rhode Island town of Westerly on Sunday, and blasting much of the Northeast with high winds and heavy storm surge. Henri had weakened earlier in the day from hurricane status but remained an imposing threat, driving sustained winds of 60 miles per hour and producing 19-foot waves in some places. Storm surge, rainfall and wind hazards will extend far from the center. Henri is forecast to slow down and possibly stall near the Connecticut-New York border Sunday night, followed by an east-northeastward motion across northern Connecticut and southern Massachusetts on Monday. 📸: Tom Brenner, Joseph Prezioso, @afpphoto/@gettyimages
