Henri stalls over Northeast, drenching region and flooding communities 'in the blink of an eye' Tropical Depression Henri was inching across the Northeast on Monday, a record-setting storm that knocked out power to more than 100,000 homes and businesses and drenched parts of New York City with more than 8 inches of rain. Henri was nearly stationary early Monday after making landfall Sunday afternoon in Rhode Island as a tropical storm packing 60-mph winds. Flood watches were in effect across eastern Pennsylvania, southeast New York, New Jersey, Long Island and portions of New England. “It came so quick – in the blink of an eye,” Helmetta Mayor Christopher Slavicek said. “Now there’s clean up. So this is far from over.” 📸 : Getty Images, Peter Pereira (The Standard-Times), Seth Harrison (@lohud) | #henri #tropicaldepression #northeast #storm
